Monument record CAC 080 - Cropmarks of Bloodmoor Hill Saxon sunken-featured buildings

Please read our .

Summary

The cropmarks of an area of Saxon sunken-featured buildings and pits are visible on aerial photographs within the area of the excavated Roman and Saxon settlement on Bloodmoor Hill (CAC 013 & CAC 016). Many of the features are quite faint and indistinct and have just been defined as an ‘extent-of-area’. Only a three of the more distinct sub-rectilinear pit-like features visible have been mapped individually, although it is worth noting that these do not directly correspond with the excavation plan of the site.

The cropmarks of an area of Saxon sunken-featured buildings and pits are visible on aerial photographs (S1) within the area of the excavated Roman and Saxon settlement on Bloodmoor Hill (CAC 013 & CAC 016). Many of the features are quite faint and indistinct and have just been defined as an ‘extent-of-area’. Only a three of the more distinct sub-rectilinear pit-like features visible have been mapped individually, although it is worth noting that these do not directly correspond with the excavation plan of the site (S2) in terms of size and location, but are in the general vicinity of the excavated examples.
