Full Description

Undated cropmark linear features at TF 2453 2080. {1} Cropmarks have been identified on Google Maps in 2010 at TF 2446 2111. They have been interpreted as possible Roman settlement. {2} Further examination of the Google Maps aerial photographs in 2014 has revelaed cropmarks covering a larger area than those previously identified. A number of enclosures can be discerned, the most prominent located at c.TF 2471 2125. Although undated, the cropmarks appear to be consistent with other late prehistoric/Roman examples. {3}
