Full Description
A number of linear ditches and possibly one end of a sub-rectangular ditched enclosure are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and 1959, centred on TM 34883962. The enclosure measures 22m by at least 50m. (S1) (S2) (S3) These features may be geological. (S4)

Additional cropmarks have been added to this site from (S5-S6). The cropmarks would appear to be of more than one phase – although as stated above some maybe geological. Other similar cropmarks in this area have been interpreted as being of probable late prehistoric to Roman date, for example BAW 012.
