Linear features, field boundaries and trackways on the same alignment as the main Ardleigh complex. At TM 05102917 there is a subcircular enclosure cut and obscured by a field boundary. Numerous pit marks and some periglacial features. At TM 05152885, there is a possible rectangular enclosure, which may be the result of trackways bisecting each other although there appears to be an entrance on the south side. <1>-<11> Mapped on the NMP <12> Information from NRHE: Cropmarks south of Ardleigh.
