Monument record 9623/0/3 - Possible Trackway, Undated

Cropmarks of a probable trackway

{2} Several linear features, not all of which need be archaeological.

{3} Trench 36 was positioned to examine a series of cropmarks but no archaeological features or deposits were identified.

{4} Cropmarks of a double ditched linear feature can be seen on aerial photographs, centred on SP72826370. The feature which is 440 metres long and 8 to 10 metres wide between its ditches is interpreted as a trackway of unknown date.

The site was plotted during a 1:2500 photogrammetric survey of the area surrounding the Dallington causewayed enclosure (NMR No SP 76 SW 53) which was carried out in October 1994 by the RCHME Air Photography Unit (Event UID 926850). The survey formed part of the larger Industry and Enclosure in the Neolithic Project (Event UID 923509).
