{1} Aerial photo NCCAP:SP6065/20

{2} To the east (at SP605651) is a ring ditch, 15m in diameter, with a smaler ring ditch attached to its west side, only 7m across. There is another curving ditch on the south side of the main ring ditch, parallel to it, and only 5m from it.
[N.B. By describing this with the Roman settlement at Thrupp RCHME appear to be suggesting that this feature is Roman.]
