Full Description

The cropmark consists of a single truncated rectilinear single-ditched enclosure, roughly parallel to the A453. Fieldwalking located 37 pieces of struck flint, including a large number of tools. Such a concentration of struck flint, including both a high proportion of tools and a number of fire cracked pebbles, may well indicate indicate contemporary settlement remains, in all probability an extension of the activity indicated by the fragmentary cropmark enclosures.
