{2} The cropmark traces of an incompleter rectilinear enclosure centred at SP 5026 4043 seen on aerial photographs taken by English Heritage in July 2006. The enclosure measures approximately 57m x 50m and is defined by a single ditch with straight sides and curved corners. There are possible traces of an inner ditch circuit on the northern side of the enclosure. This site one of a group of rectilinear and sub-circular enclosures thought to be Iron Age or Roman in date were seen centred as a group at SP 5020 4050. These enclosures lie in close proximity to one another across three modern fields and may be associated with each other. This site was originally mapped and recorded during the Northamptonshire NMP project, (maps and records held at Northamptonshire HER).
