Full Description
Towards the southern end of the northernmost field lies a possible rectangular enclosure, identified by magnetically positive rectilinear readings, which are often typical of buried ditches. These readings appear to define an area measuring c.30m by c.20m, orientated NNW – SSE, with a short linear feature to the west. The origin and function of this possible enclosure is uncertain, its location may suggest an agricultural enclosure of some kind, especially as no internal features were picked up by the survey. Its orientation is not in keeping with the ploughing / ridge and furrow remains, which appear to run across the possible enclosure suggesting they belong to different periods of activity. If it post-dates the ploughing activity then it is likely to be relatively recent in date, if it pre-dates the ploughing activity then clearly any remains are likely to have been denuded by the subsequent ploughing activity.
