Description

Cropmarks centred on above NGR: trackway. Later note added, "rectangular enclosures/fields". Another added note reads "cropmark. Rings etc. Mrs McMaster 1977-1978". <1> According to OS field report of 1976, "no significant features seen on the ground which is under cultivation. The area lies on undulating gravel terrace". <2> Linear features, pits, ring ditches plotted and on aerial photographs. Subrectangular enclosure with another one (?) attached. <3> - <7> See aerial photographs <8> - <12>. Note: The mapped polygon is not representative of the extent of the cropmarks and instead probably reflects the modern land parcel within which the cropmarks are situated. NRHE data transfer: September 1976. Field survey. The cropmarks appear to represent a vague enclosure about 230.0m. square (centred TL 8890 0965) associated with linear ditches and old hedgerow courses. No significant features were seen on the ground which is under cultivation. The area lies on an undulating gravel terrace. <13>
