Full Description

Rectilinear "brickfields" type features with widely spaced parallel curved cropmarks to SE. (1)

Remains of a rural Iron Age /Roman landscape consisting of field boundaries and double ditched trackways are visible as cropmarks on air photographs, centred at SK 5984 8544. Also visible a ditch of uncertain date.
An intermittently visible co-axial field system runs on a west east alignment over an area of approximately 35ha. Some boundaries form long rectangular or trapezoidal fields averaging 111m wide and 165m long.
At SK 5984 8522 there is a curvilinear trackway on slightly different alignment compared to the surrounding field system. This feature is likely to be of Iron Age /Roman date although it is possible that it may represent later land division and/or drainage.
This is potentially part of an extensive 'brickwork' field system recorded to the east (part of the Nottinghamshire NMP project). (2)(3)
