Monument record 5822/1 - Probable late Iron Age/Roman farmstead and trackways, south of Badger's Farm

Geophysical survey and subsequent trial trench excavation identified a possible ditched enclosure with internal features as well as two trackways aligned north-south and north-west to south-east. The latter trackway is on the same alignment as a cropmark of a trackway some 100m to the south.

{1} Archaeological trial trench excavation was undertaken in 2018. An area of probable late Iron Age to Roman settlement was identified in the northern extent of the site, possibly a small, enclosed farmstead. Two trackways, one aligned north-south and the other north-west to south-east, also dated to the same period and may be related to an associated field system.
