Monument record ADT 066 - Trackway extending through underlying wetland deposits, not visible from the air.

Please read our .

Summary

Trackway believed to extend from ADT 009 to ADT 013 (groups of field systems etc) through underlying wetland deposits, so not visible from the air. The NMP mapping may indicate that the trackway associated with ADT 009 curves up to the northwest towards ADT 001 rather than directly to the west towards ADT 013 as suggested. Although this is not certain due to some blanker areas of mapping in-between the sites. Certainly the additional trackway identified to the north of ADT 009 appears to curve towards ADT 001, and other fragmentary cropmarks recorded under ADT 103, also.
