Full Description

Cropmark of a rectangular enclosure with rounded corners and part of a possible droveway; possibly IA to Ro. (1)

These marks are now under pasture; they cannot be identified on the ground, no surface archaeological finds were made nor does the landowner know of any. The topographical situation is open on a SE facing slope. Without supporting evidence the marks cannot be identified. (2)

Examination of APs shows the enclosure to be traces of a recent field boundary (still shown on SMR map). (3) (4)

See L566, L423 for nearby cropmarks.
