Monument record 6766/0/8 - Possible Prehistoric Ditch (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

Crop/soilmark: Good quality photography

{1} NCCAP: SP7566/004.

{2} A curving, linear ditch, thought to be prehistoric in date.

{3} The correlation between the aerial photographic, geophysical and excavation evidence in the field was variable. The anomalies were not always detected in the evaluation trenches, which may indicate that they were a product of the natural geology. The evaluation confirmed that the network of linear anomalies detected on the aerial photographs were not associated with human activity.
T2 contained a single ditch [but uncertain whether this is the same ditch as recorded by aerial phtoography].
