Description
Aerial survey work has identified cropmarks indicating the presence of early enclosures, pits and field boundaries in the immediate area (see EHER 2574).
Site visit, 1998
The site was visited in November 1988 during topsoil stripping on a wedge-shaped plot. A N-S linear feature close to the western edge of the cleared area proved to be the fill of a 1.5m ditch associated with an earlier field boundary. The exact origin of the boundary is unknown. Subsequent study of the OS 2 1/2" revisions indicates that it was removed at some time between 1941 and 1955. <1> Copy of OS map in SMR has cropmark field boundaries plotted on it. They include the one mentioned above and others removed prior to 1924. See EHER 2574 for Aerial photograph references. <2>
