Full Description

Small horseshoe shaped feature, possibly an enclosure, and linear N-S and E-W cropmarks. (1)

Cropmarks of long field boundaries more or less aligned N to S. (2)

Morph: 63.6.1 & 63.7.1 Unknown Prehistoric Field Systems. (3)

A short ditch length in the south of the survey area of the geophysical survey corresponds with the cropmark evidence. A further ditch is part of the same complex. Unfortunately no further anomalies have been recorded which correlate to the cropmarks. (4)

Possible archaeological anomalies recorded during a geophysical survey may be associated with the complex but do not correspond to the cropmarks. (4)

See L 4535 - cropmarks to E, L 4537 - to W. See SMR map. NB extensive, on SK 67 SE and NE.
