Full Description
The northernmost of two probable prehistoric or Roman pit alignments, on land to the north of Beck Plantation, South Rauceby. Visible as cropmarks on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. The cropmarks show a linear arrangement of pit features, largely following a straight course from south-west to north-east, though with two short perpendicular sections in the middle. This alignment seems to converge at its north-eastern end with another pit alignment located a short distance to the south (see MLI84431). {1}{2}{3}
