Full Description
{1} Aerial photos NCCAP: SP5170/001-17.
{2} To the west are two fishponds of irregular shape (marked 'h' on the earthwork plan), separated by a mutilated bank or dam only 1m high at the west but 2m high at the east. The ponds are cut into the adjacenet ground and the scarps along their east sides are up to 2m high. The southernmost has traces of later ploughing within it and the adjacent medieval ridge and furrow to the east appears to overlie its east edge.
