Description
Cropmarks centred on TL 805 109: possible trackways. <1>
October 1976. Field survey.
The crop-marks are situated on a flat arable field which was a spring issuing from a small gulley at its south-east corner. Perambulation produced no finds or evidence of features. <2>
'Area is relatively flat and under stubble at time of visit. At the south-east angle of the field there is a small gully from where a spring issues, but no other features are visible.' <3>
See aerial photograph <4>.
The NMP cropmark plot records two parallel linear features aligned N-S and roughly 10m apart which extend over an area of approximately 170m. The feature on the left is longer than the feature on the right which only runs for approximately 100m. <5>
