Map

19 July 1996. NLA aerial photography. Cropmarks visible at Elm Farm.
The multiple linear features are likely to represent field boundaries, although it is possible a very large, straight sided, rectangular enclosure is also present. Only one rounded corner of the enclosure is visible. Within the center of the field is a possible ring ditch. However this feature appears as a negative cropmark whilst all the ditches are positive. Its is possible that this is a geological phenomenon and the feature is a ditch. But equally this may actually be a stone structure such as a small Roman temple.
There is a possible second ring ditch to the south, showing less clearly.
