Three, weakly positive curvilinear anomalies are noted in the northeast corner of the site. It is possible they constitute the remains of a singular, ovular enclosure of unknown pre-historic provenance. A break noted in the northwest corner may also denote a possible entrance. This is supported by the presence of a former Roman Road illustrated on historical OS maps (1888 – 1915) noted as ‘Leeming Lane (Roman Road)’ which is situated on the modern A60, east of the Site. Furthermore, the weak magnetic response within the dataset could indeed be the result of topographic elevation noted within the northeast portion the Site, both on satellite imagery and historical OS maps (1888 – 1915). Localised variations within the underlying geology also cannot be entirely ruled out.

Two rectilinear anomalies and a single linear anomaly of varying response are also noted in the northeast corner of the site and are indeed located within the centre of the proposed, ovular enclosure. It is plausible they are the remains of a single rectilinear enclosure. The overall morphology differs from other nearby anomalies, and it cannot be currently inferred as to whether these anomalies are associated with three curvilinear anomalies therefore suggesting a different phase of land use within the historical landscape.
