Monument record 8840/5 - Probable Iron Age/Roman settlement, south of Gore Spinney's

Iron Age and/or Roman ditched enclosures and boundaries, probably marking the site of a settlement, are recorded as cropmarks on EH Reconnaissance aerial photographs taken in July 2011. Two conjoined rectilinear enclosures extend over an area measuring about 75 metres by 50 metres and appear to be appended to the south side of a ditched roughly east-west aligned boundary measuring at least 100 metres long. The westernmost enclosure has a curved south-west side. Parallel to this, within the enclosure is a curved enclosure measuring about 15 metres across.
