Map

17 February 1995. NLA air photography.
Photographs indicate slight earthworks of a series of four, roughly parallel banks and ditches.
These linears have the appearance of strip lynchets, although the ditch component and lack of terracing indicates that the term lynchet is not entirely sufficient.
To the south these linears butt up to a double ditch linear, which appears to be acting as a headland (although no redeposited earth can be seen).
