Full Description

Complex of small enclosures, droveways, linear boundaries. (1) (2)
Cropmarks of a cluster of at least 10 group 6 subrectangular enclosures, probably of Ro date. The cluster probably extends further to the E, and the area overall is perhaps 1.5Ha. There are many marks, some ancient, and others almost certainly modern, and all probably connected with drainage in a low lying area. (3)
Possible line of curvilinear enclosures along edge of terrace at SK701880. New rectilinear enclosures and linear soilmarks at SK701885-7. (4)
