Full Description
{1} Geophysical survey identified a concentration of anomalies in the west of the survey area. A series of ditches aligned north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east, possibly describing rectilinear enclosures. Their southern extent has been obscured by a strong signal from a modern service pipe. To the north and east of the enclosures are further linear ditches which may form the boundaries to either trackways or field systems.
