Monument record 9858 - Uncertain Prehistoric Activity, south-east of Watford Gap Services

Cropmarks of a rectilinear enclosure have been identified on aerial photographs. Geophysical survey recorded further possible archaeological features although subsequent trial trenching did not identify any sub surface features.

{1} A group of linear positive anomalies may constitute 2 or 3 small enclosures. A fairly significant number of more amorphous, scattered positive anomalies may also be of archaeological origin.

{3} Three trial trenches were located in the area where the geophysical anomalies had been detected, but no features were identified or finds recovered.
