Full Description

A ditch-like response extends westward from the enclosures (MNT4499).

A partial enclosure has been detected; no response is visible on the western side, south of enclosures (MNT4499). Linear anomalies extend to the south-west, and these could be evidence of fields systems or land divisions. Other weaker responses have been detected within the vicinity of the partial enclosure; these too could have archaeological origins.

A linear trend in the north-west of the site and a partial rectangular response in the north-east have been categorised as being of Possible interest. While the responses could be of some antiquity, they may have been caused by agricultural processes.
