Description

Plan Form - ANNULAR
RING DITCH (possibly two?) SHOWING AS A CROPMARK. (NB 3 MORE AT CASS 05305) (B1).

This area was assessed as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). However, the features described (above) could not be identified due on any of the aerial photographs or lidar visualisations available to the project. The aerial photographs from 1946 show this area covered by ridge and furrow earthworks but these earthworks are not visible, and land use is arable, by 1974 but they can still be seen as cropmarks at this time. APGB and Google Earth also show no cropmarks at this location. There are ring ditches recorded on the opposite side of the River Ouse (see MBC5865 and MNN164346 (Northants HER)) and further north (see MBC24792) and to the north of the farm (see MBC13629). (3-6)
