Full Description
2 July 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks reveal three ring ditches, two of which (to north) appear to have a causeway in the ditch.
Also to the north is a series of interconnecting linear features, which seem to form a herringbone-like pattern.
The whole area seems to be part of a field system, although some of these linears join up with MOD ditches. This field system is likely to be medieval - post medieval in date, although it may be of earlier origin.
Also visible are several partial rectilinear enclosure features, although it is hard to discern all the cropmarks due to heavy geological background noise. These features, which include a trackway, appear to be on a similar alignment. It is likely that these represent fragments of earlier field divisions.
