Full Description

The cropmark of a sub-rectangular enclosure is visible at SK 5764 8651. The enclosure is defined by a substantial ditch and, outside this, a possible second ditch, much slighter than the first. The approximate inner dimensions of the enclosure are 100m by 70m. Date uncertain. (1) (2)

A potential Iron Age /Roman double ditched enclosure and ditches of uncertain date are visible as cropmarks on air photographs, centred at SK 5770 8653.
The double ditched rectilinear enclosure is polygonal in form. Its internal area measures 86m by 96m and the ditches are separated by a gap of 14m.
The inner circuit appears as a broad ditch in its west and south sides and double ditched to the north east. The outer ditch has an incompletely visible circuit and appears much narrower than the internal one. A short length of ditch appears to connect the outer to the inner ditch in its east and south sides.
At SK 5777 8657 there is a rectilinear ditch, 'L-shaped in plan'. It is unclear whether this latter feature is of Iron Age /Roman date or represents later land division. (3) (4)
