Full Description

Probable Roman settlement activity, to the west of Spridlington. The site is visible as cropmarks of a fragmentary, rectilinear system of conjoined enclosures, measuring on average 140m by 50m. The enclosure complex is partially superimposed on the western side with individual enclosures of varying dimensions. A probable Roman trackway or road leading to the enclosure complex from the west appears to be directly related (though is spearately recorded as MLI50578). Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}{8}{9}{10}{11}
