Full Description

Cropmarks. Rectangular enclosures on N side of a double ditched trackway. Boundaries of the "brickwork" field system extend from here. (1) (2)
Cropmarks of a cluster of at least 6 subrectangular enclosures, c 1.0Ha in area, associated with brickwork plan fields possibly of Ro date. In one enclosure, a C shaped mark may be a hut site. At SK 667822, twin enclosures are 0.15Ha overall. The cropmarks S of the cluster are somewhat faint. A long double ditched boundary makes a sharp turn as it passes the enclosure cluster, suggesting that the enclosures are earlier. (3)
See L 8753 for excavation, L 4794 - cropmarks to S, L 4799 - to W. See SMR map.
