November 2010. Aerial photograph interpretation.
A possible prehistoric field system which includes a number of linear ditch features that could be field boundaries. There are also some enclosures and a possible ring-ditch, long barrow and ovoid enclosure. It’s possible that these features may date to the Neolithic/Bronze Age.

Excavation in the extreme northeast of this site recorded very few archaeological features. One possible Prehistoric ditch was identified but could not be securely dated. Three post medieval pits were also recorded, while two other pits remain undated.
