Type and Period
Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Cropmarks including linear features, rectangular and rectilinear enclosures and an oval enclosure. Possibly also some pits. <1>
The oval enclosure is a wood shown on the OS 6" map which has subsequently been grubbed out. <2>
Some possible rectangular or sub-rectangular enclosures are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs taken 22 July 2003. The cropmarks are rather vague and uncertain in outline, but may represent a series of conjoined sub-rectangular enclosures, possibly associated in some way with the nearby oval enclosure recorded by NMP a short distance to the northeast. <3>
Cropmarks of a field system and a wood boundary were recorded in 2019. <4>
