Full Description
Cropmarks of field system.
Located by E. Rose (NAU), 6 January 1978.
October 2025. HER Enhancement: Forestry Commission Project K.
The cropmarks of likely medieval settlement features, field boundaries and medieval to post medieval drainage ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S3-S5). The features are visible as earthworks on the digital 1940s RAF aerial photograph layer (S1). The features appear to be subsequently levelled and are visible as cropmarks on recent (2020 and 2022) aerial photographs (S3-S5). Further work such as reviewing additional aerial photographs, analysing the print 1940s RAF aerial photographs in stereo to assess the earthworks and reviewing historic maps, is required to further characterise the site.
