Description
Possible ditches and enclosures of probable later prehistoric date visible as very faint cropmarks on aerial photographs. The possible traces of a ring ditch (? hut circle) can be seen suggesting this may be the remains of a settlement and or field system. The cropmarks are very faint in a ripened crop with extensive mottling in the crop caused by the underlying geology (1).
