Monument record CAC 058 - Cropmarks of an undated square or rectilinear enclosure

Please read our .

Summary

The cropmarks of an undated square or rectilinear enclosure, with possible associated ditches, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The morphology of the site, combined with the fact that Iron Age to Roman finds and features have been investigated nearby (for example CAC 025, CAC 029, CAC 031) could suggest that it is Iron Age to Roman in date, although this is not certain and a medieval date could also be suggested given its proximity to Carlton Hall and other medieval remains (CAC 017).
