Full Description
15 July 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks showing what appear to be two partial rectilinear enclosures. Several other linear features have right-angled turns along their course, these may also be sections of addititional enclosures.
At least two of these linears are parallel and closely set and may be a track.
The field appears to be traversed with drains, it is possible that some of the linears are drainage.
See (S1).
S. Massey (NLA), 11 October 2001.
The southernmost of these features are visible as earthworks on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S2). It is likely that these features and some of the linear features visible on (S1) in fact relate to post-medieval drainage. The curvilinear feature running approximately east-west to the south of this site is certainly a field boundary which was ploughed out after 1946.
