Full Description

A substantial N-S hollow runs S from Church Street. A number of irregular mounds and hollows, with no clearly apparent pattern, occupy the front 5m of the field, immediately S of Church Street and to the W of the hollow. (1)

Earthwork remains are clearly visible in this field including sunken trackway and remnants of ridge and furrow. A curvilinear anomaly was detected running in a north –south direction and equates with the earthwork sunken way. Other linear anomalies represent earthwork remains of ridge and furrow. (4)
