NHER 21174 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated possible enclosure and linear features

4 June 1980. NAU aerial photographs. Site occupies peninsula overlooking river.
Positive cropmarks.
Two sides and radiused corner of possible enclosure and misc linear features.
Identification as enclosure.
D. A. Edwards (NAU), 21 January 1985.

The radiused corner feature is very odd, the north side is wavy and almost appears to be two separate features. (The linear marks are comparatively recent boundaries).

Cropmarks of the undated possible curvilinear enclosure and linear features of more than one phase described above are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S5).
The grid reference for the corner of the curvilinear enclosure has been altered from TG 2574 0885 to TG 2585 0885, and the linear features are centred around TG 2583 0893.
The enclosure is visible as a linear ditch, c. 1.9m in width, oriented roughly east-west for approximately 50m, before it turns a corner of approximately 90 degrees, and continues north-south for approximately 43m. A postulated Roman date for this feature may be borne out, not only on account of its morphology, but also by the discovery of Roman pottery sherds 165m to the east (NHER 9684).
A second, although somewhat fainter curvilinear feature is visible, with an orientation that changes from south-east to north-west, through a rounded corner centred on TG 2575 0894, approximately 100m to the north. This appears to be overlain by two parallel fragmentary ditch features, oriented roughly north west-south east and situated 18m apart, which may represent a possible trackway. It is possible that a continuation of these ditch features may be visible 200m to the east (NHER 52013). Further fragments of linear features were visible in the vicinity, oriented either north-south or east-west, at least two of which overlay each other (at TG 2574 0887), and may represent field boundaries, and these may date to the medieval to post medieval period.
