Full Description

Findings here include a well-defined group of ditched enclosures of clear archaeological significance across the southern part of the field. The strongest is a rectilinear enclosure which corresponds to the cropmark, but there are others (not visible as cropmarks) extending to the west. Groups of pit-like magnetic anomalies surrounding the enclosures suggest the presence of occupation remains within the enclosures.

These may contain occupation remains suggesting a late prehistoric or Romano-British settlement site.

There could be another less well-defined enclosure on the west side.

Curving linear features could represent a ditched trackway. This is stronger than other more recent possible boundaries and trackways, and so could be an archaeological feature. The archaeological enclosures are intersected by linear markings. These are broader and weaker than at the ditched trackway, and could perhaps be a relatively insubstantial former hedge line or track.
