NHER 49368 (Monument record) - Cropmark of undated pit-like feature

A pit-like cropmark visible on an aerial photograph may represent an archaeological feature. Its size, regular outline, and strongly contrasting cropmark all suggest that it is man-made. It is surrounded by the cropmarks of a multi-period field system (NHER 36748), and may or may not have been contemporary with one phase of this larger site. A natural geological origin, or an association with recent agricultural activity cannot be ruled out, however, nor can a more mundane derivation, from a post medieval quarry pit for example.
