Full Description

Morph: 108.2.1 Roman field boundary, 108.5.1, 108.6.1 Roman field system, 108.7.1. (1)

Iron Age /Roman field boundaries and a ditch of uncertain date are visible as cropmarks on air photographs, centred at SK 5931 8549.
An intermittently visible parallel arrangement of field boundaries lies on a west east alignment over an area of approximately 6.5ha. The field boundaries are spaced between 76m and 94m apart.
Abutting or crossing these to the east is a long sinuous field boundary running north south. This cuts or is cut by a short narrow field boundary at SK 5940 8544. The phasing of the features is unclear.
At SK 5932 8541 lies a fragmentary linear ditch on a north west south east alignment. It is possible this is of non-archaeological nature or more recent in date.
This feature is potentially part of the 'brickwork' field system recorded immediately to the east (L8745). (2)
