Full Description
A prehistoric/Roman rectilinear enclosure, possible double ditched trackway and also a macula of uncertain date are visible as cropmarks on air photographs. They are centred at SK 5904 9015.
The enclosure is located at SK 5900 9026, sub-square in plan, with two possible entrances in the north and east sides. It is formed by a narrow ditch that widens to 3m at the terminal ends of the north entrance. It has an internal area of 0.15ha. A ditch abuts it to the south and this ditch leads south then east into a double ditch feature that might be interpreted as a trackway. There is a branch in the trackway that leads south.
At SK 5891 9032 there is an oval macula measuring 16m x 11m. (1)
