Full Description

The cropmarks of a fragmentary and multiphase ditches and boundaries of unknown date, but potentially including elements of late prehistoric, Roman and medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). Although it must be noted that some of the cropmarks could feasibly relate to non-archaeological subsurface features such as geology and/or drainage.
