Full Description

Indistinct marks NW of Manor Hills show boundaries defining strips irregular in plan of brickwork plan field areas. Strip widths between SK 568762 and SK 572767 are 95.0m. (1)
Parallel field boundaries and subrectangular enclosures (4 ? ) . (2) (3) (4)
The cropmark remains of a probable Iron Age/Romano-British field system were seen on aerial photographs and recorded as part of the Nottinghamshire NMP project. The field system is rectilinear and ditch defined forming a brickwork pattern. Within the remains of the fields at least 4 separate cropmark ring ditches have also been recorded. These are probably tree ring enclosures associated with the formal gardens of Worksop Manor to the north (monument uid: 318291). These features are recorded separately. (6)
Morph: 78/6/1 linear system - field system, 78/8/1 linear feature - ditch. (5)
See L9174 for circular features, part of garden cropmarks.
