Map

Semicircular cropmark with gap seen on both St. Joseph aerial photographs (S1) (1954) and on RAF aerial photographs. Destroyed by new course of Little River, but old bank about here approximately 0.6m (2 feet) high; connected? Both
possibly to do with drainage works.
E. Rose (NAU), 15 July 1975.

This is very probably part of the large roddon here; see Fenland Overlays (roughly drawn on record map; plotting is not exactly the same but is within margin of error).
E. Rose (NAU), 18 May 1987.
