Full Description

The first long positive linear feature, 1 to 2 nT/m, may represents a former ditch, possibly an enclosure or boundary feature or possibly a headland associated with the ridge and furrow. Potentially towards the western end of the feature it may turn to run to the north-northeast, and/or continue to the west.

The second positive linear feature, 2 to 4 nT/m, may represent a former ditch or drain, possibly an enclosure or boundary feature.

A couple of short curvilinear positive features, 1 to 2 nT/m and 1 to 4 nT/m respectively, which are of uncertain origin.
