Full Description

The cropmark remains of a large ditch defined curvilinear enclosure of uncertain date was seen and mapped from aerial photographs. Only the eastern and part of the northern side of the enclosure could be seen (the northern ditch partially obscured by two large trees). Faint traces of two linear ditches were also recorded extending northwards and eastwards from the NE corner of the enclosure. The northern ditch may well link up with a ditch to the north which was previously recorded as part of the Nottinghamshire NMP project. (1) (2) (3)
