Large complex of cropmarks. Including hut circles / ring ditches and enclosure to SW (? not numbered on map). The cropmarks to the E include an enclosure or 2 and possible hut circles. 2 parallel lines terminated by a transverse line. Many natural features show in the same area so care is needed in distinguishing what's what. (1) (2)
Marks fall on level land, part under sugar beet and part stubble when visited. The lines look recent but apparently are overlain by the present field system. (3)
Morph: 203.13.1 trackway, 203.14.1 enclosure, 203.14.2 enclosure, 203.15.1 linear features. (4)
The double linear running from NW - SE is probably a former track, visible on a C19 map. The transverse linear at its S end, also identified as a field boundary, can be observed to cross the neighbouring field to the E and is just visible in the woodland as a low bank. (5)
See L8487, L5804 for cropmarks to W, L11277 for earthworks in wood.
