The undated ditches described above were not identified with any certainty on the consulted aerial sources. An area of possible ridging identified in the southern part of the site, which may correspond with some of the features recorded above, has been recorded separately as NHER 68077. Other ditches in this area appear to be drainage ditches of low archaeological significance and have not been recorded.
