Full Description

{1} The survey data contains two linear anomalies of potential archaeological interest, located centrally in the western field. They are likely to represent ditches of indeterminate date. It is possible that they relate to the Roman remains previously discovered nearby, but it is also possible they are later boundaries or garden features related to Delapre Abbey.
