Full Description

Probable unknown prehistoric cropmark boundary and enclosures, seen on NMP. {1} A geophysical survey conducted in February-April 2013 encountered a band of ditches and pits aligned southwest to northeast, curving towards the northwest, with a number of penannular or partial rectilinear enclosures to either side. A number of possible ditches and pits extended from this group towards the west. These likely represent a number of phases of prehistoric activity. {2}
