Full Description

A series of large rectangular "fields" surrounding Spitalmoor Forest Farm. Also smaller rectangular enclosures, double ditched trackways. (1) (2)
Cropmarks of a cluster of subrectangular enclosures partly obliterated by modern farm buildings at Spittalmoor Forest Farm and associated with brickwork plan fields possibly of Ro date. The enclosures are from 600sqm to 0.7Ha in area, with one, perhaps two cases double ditched. This appears to be a large site and was probably an important centre. Two large fields are 3.4 and 4.3Ha in area, and one boundary is double ditched. (3)
Morph: 60.6.1-8 Group: Unknown Prehistoric Settlement (including 60.6.1 Unknown Prehistoric Field System). Also 60.7.1 (4)
