Full Description

2 rectangular enclosures, one with an entrance facing SE - ring ditch to S. ? Pit alignment between circle and enclosures. (1)
All markings now fall under root crop. Extensively perambulated but only normal field debris seen together with sherds of C18/C19 pottery. Topographically the marks fall adjacent to the 50ft contour slightly above the Trent river meadows. The enclosures / ditches are probably Ro in origin, although a Preh date is not impossible. (2)

See L3053 for adjacent cropmarks, L3054 for more nearby.
