Sub-rectangular enclosure. 2 or 3 compartments ? with external linear features including one small square enclosure. A few other lines close by, and one large and 2 smaller spots (large pits ?) within the main enclosure. (1) (2)
This extensive area of cropmarks is now under plough. A wide perambulation produced no surface indication of the marks (a single piece of Med green glaze found in topsoil). Enquiries of the working farmer (who has some historical knowledge) produced no useful information. These enclosures, covering such a wide area, were probably utilised for stock breeding. (3)

The three evaluation trenches provided sufficient evidence to date the main components of the cropmark enclosure complex to the Romano-British period. The major ditches preserve organic remains, namely pollen and animal bone. There is some evidence to indicate localised alluviation over the site. … the geophysical survey may have traced the W extent of the complex demarcated by one, or more, linear ditches. (5)
