Description
RAF vertical Aps appear to show a large enclosure on rising ground (on spit between two gentle valleys). The southern part of the enslosure appears to cross the ridge and furrow and is very distinct. The northern arm might be intepreted as a headland - the county-wide survey of ridge and furrow was unable to interpret evidence in these two fields (B1).
