NHER 24976 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of probable medieval to post medieval field boundaries, rectilinear enclosure and trackways

November 1987. Air Photo Interpretation.
CUCAP aerial photography. 3 June 1976.
Positive cropmarks rectangular enclosures and negative cropmarks.
Possibly metalled trackway.
This is a very interesting pre-park layout and pre-enclosure system.

NLA air photography. 26 June 1996.
Parchmark of possible metalled trackway still visible.
Cropmarks of internal features within the enclosure may be pit like features.
The large rectangular 'block' positive anomaly may indicate the site of a building of some sort.

The cropmarks of a previously recorded rectilinear enclosure, sections of trackway, and field boundaries (see above) of medieval to post-medieval date are seen on aerial photographs (S1-S5). The main element of the site consists of a rectilinear enclosure which appears to align with a section of trackway. Possible internal divisions are visible within the enclosure as well as two pit features. The pit features may be medieval to post-medieval in date, although their archaeological origin is not certain. Probable medieval to post-medieval field boundaries are also visible in close proximity to the enclosure. The enclosure may relate to medieval to post-medieval settlement or a stock enclosure. Further possible medieval to post-medieval field boundaries have been recorded approximately 90 meters to the north (NHER 66277) and approximately 175m to the west (NHER 66296). For further discussion see project report (S6).
The mapped extent of this record has been slightly enlarged to the south and east [1].
