Full Description

What appears to be a roughly rectangular feature on what may be the highest point in the field. The slides are unclear and there may be other associated features nearby. (1) (2)
Soil marks of 2 small rectangular enclosures at SK 7419 5813 and SK 7421 5828, with rig and furrow and old field boundaries superimposed. (3)
Enquiries at the farm established that although the site is slightly elevated it was, until recently drained, a wet one. Nothing of interest is known to have been found here but perambulation was not possible owing to standing corn. (4)
