Full Description

Small complex of rectangular and angular features. Possibly 3 rectangular or square enclosures with angular lines around them. (1)
E enclosure double ditched / droves ? (2)
All markings now fall under root crop. Extensively perambulated but only normal field debris seen together with sherds of C18/C19 pottery. Topographically the marks fall adjacent to the 50ft contour slightly above the Trent river meadows. The enclosures/ditches are probably Ro in origin, although a Preh date is not impossible. (3)
Morph: 199.31.1 enclosure. (4)
See L8431, L3054 for adjacent cropmarks.
