Full Description

Morph: 210.1.1 cursus, 210.2.1 field system, 210.3.1, ditch, 210.4.1 enclosure, 210.5.1 enclosure, 210.6.1 enclosure. (1)

The "cursus" interpretation cannot be confirmed. (2)

The results from an evaluation suggest that the features identified by geophysical and aerial photographic study are also likely to be Late Iron Age and Early Roman in date and could represent settlements on top of the slight ridge overlooking the Devon (and Trent) valley to the west. They could also be associated with settlement activity previously identified to the west of the River Devon, indicating a substantial area of settlement activity of this period. (3)
