Summary
A long linear feature was identified as an earthwork from aerial photgraphs taken in 1979. The function of this feature is unknown but it is closely associated with a number of enclosure and ring ditch cropmarks in the surrounding area. It also appears to have some relationship to a Roman trackway at its northern end.
