Full Description
Cropmarks of what seems to be a series of four parallel linear ditchess, to the north-east of Dunsby. The ditches run on a rough north-west to south-east alignment, and are visible for about 850m, on aerial photographs of this area. Two adjoining linear features to the north of the western end of the linears seem to be two sides of a rectangular enclosure, with further cropmarks of a possible ring ditch visible to the north of the enclosure. The cropmarks suggest that at least one of the linear features may actually be formed by pit alignments in some places. {1}{2}
