Description

A roughly square ditch is visible on LiDAR as an extant earthwork beneath trees. Possible moated site. Heavily-degraded linear bank visible as an earthwork within a possible moated site. May be structural remains of some sort. Area within the square ditch appears very uneven, suboval depression, possibly as a result of later quarrying adjacent to this bank. There are other quarry pits nearby (B1).
