A rectangular enclosure with an adjacent straight ditch running away at a right angle. (1)
Further AP evidence revealed an extensive area of associated linear features, which form a "brickwork" field pattern. Also associated are further rectangular enclosures. Double ditched linear features suggest trackways within the system. (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
Cropmarks of a cluster of subrectangular enclosures partly obliterated by the Great North Road, are associated with brickwork plan fields possibly of Ro date. 3 enclosures are at least 0.45Ha in area and are subdivided into smaller compartments. At SK 657855, an islolated subrectangular enclosure is 0.35Ha in area and has an internal compartment of 300sqm. The fields are less regular than those to the S of the double ditch. There are signs of a change of plan at c SK 654862, where the double ditched boundaries to the N are longer and the fields broader than usual. Gaps between the ditches are from 3.5 to 5.5m. (8)
Morph: 131.1.1 Roman field system (also L's 4824, 4826, 4827), 131.1.2 Roman farmstead, 131.1.3 Roman stock enclosure, 131.1.5 Roman enclosure. All part of group: Roman settlement (4824, 4826, 4827, 4830, 4832), 131.5.1, 131.6.1 unknown prehistoric enclosure, ?131.7.1 group: unknown prehistoric settlement. (9)
A comparison of the cropmark plot with the actual ditch positions located in the trenches allowed an assessment of the accuracy of the cropmark plot. In all cases but one the cropmark plot was within 2m of the actual ditch position. Not all the ditches showed as cropmarks. (10)
The evidence for second (and third) parallel ditches, discontinuous ditches and recut ditches matches the evidence for refurbishment and alteration of the field boundaries. The apparent simplicity of the cropmark plan, with its implications of an essentially single phase development, can no longer be held [sic]. (11)
