Type and Period (3)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Cropmarks of an enclosure and paddock complex at Newville Farm, Blyton, seen on Paul Everson aerial photographs of 1977. The full extent is obscured by woodland and farm buildings. An almost symmetrical layout of regular rectilinear enclosures focussed on a (square?) double-ditched enclosure with internal enclosures, one showing a possible round house. A broad lane or trackway skirts the main enclosure on the north. Paddocks lie on the west and east of the complex. An entrance is possibly on the east where gaps occur in the enclosures. The layout resembles the precincts of some Roman villas though there is no clear evidence of a residence. {1}{2}
