Full Description
{2} Geophysical survey identified anomalies of both an archaeological and possible archaeological origin. A small complex of features, covering an area of c133m by 65m, includes linear and curvilinear trends along with ditch and pit-like responses forming small enclosures. A right-angled ditch may be of a later phase as it lies on the alignment as the ridge and furrow.
