Large group of cropmarks N of Broomhill Lane. Linear features, forming field systems and trackways, and enclosures. (1) (2)
E of Assarts Farm, cropmarks of strips and field boundaries, one boundary formed by 2 parallel ditches 3-4m apart. Also a lane with side ditches 15.0m apart which expand into a "funnel" entrance, intersects the strips; a central rut is visible at one place. A small enclosure cluster (area 0. 4Ha), another to SE (area 0.3Ha). Several isolated enclosures to the N vary in area from 500 sq m to 0.3Ha. (3)
Morph 18/1/2-10,15 Ro enclosures, linear features, farmstead; 18/2/1 Ro linear feature/trackway. (4)
Trial trenches during evaluation of reservoir site identified cropmark ditches and trackway. Ditch b/d and the later re-cut of ditch c have been securely dated to the Ro period by associated finds. The quantity of finds in ditch c suggests that a settlement focus exists towards the north end of the area (ie to north of the reservoir). (5)
See L4074, L4076, L4077 for nearby cropmarks.
