Summary

Map

22 July 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks of two linear features are visible.
The first is on a north northwest to south southeast alignment and appears to be in three sections. It is about 80m in length altogether. The second is aligned approximately east northeast to west southwest and is shorter than the first (around 40m in length). In addition to these there are also fainter linears visible nearby that may relate to current field lay out in someway. At least one circular mark can be seen, most probably a stack stand or 'Riley circle', with a broadly medieval date.
