Full description
If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
Two small rectangular enclosures are visible as faint cropmarks on 1946 aerial photographs [1]. Both enclosures appear to be composed of an unbroken narrow ditch, measuring 10m x 7m externally with long axes aligned WNW-ENE. They lie 10m apart.
The date of the features is unclear, but it is possible that they represent small enclosures or rectilinear buildings.
The enclosures may be related to a linear ditch recorded as a cropmark 40m to SE (MWX43057).
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
