See aerial photographs <3> <4>.
September 1976. Field survey.
The area was under stubble at time of visit. Perambulation produced no features of interest and the farmer stated he had not noticed anything during ploughing. Nothing was seen to confirm that the marks are drainage. <5> <6>
The field is named 'Twenty Acre Ley' on the Tithe Map. <7>
Note: The LibraryLinked images appear to show the cropmarks recorded in EHER 8452. It is unclear if this record is a duplicate for EHER 8452 but should be considered alongside it.
