Full Description
Pit Alignment (TL 80019520-07929443) runs for almost 1km along the east of the complex in both Fotheringhay and Nassington parishes, roughly parallel to the R. Nene. Its form is sinuous and although there is a gap near the south end, caused by quarrying and a modern drainage ditch, it is likely to have once been continuous.
