Monument record 7335/1 - Possible Iron Age/Roman settlement, east of Thurning Lodge

Cropmarks of a possible later prehistoric or Roman settlement complex comprising two adjacent rectilinear ditched enclosures, c.70-8m across. One has a second ditch around two sides, the other has a smaller capsule-shaped enclosure attached to the inner NW side. The cropmark traces of medieval ridge and furrow can also be seen throughout both fields containing the enclosures. These enclosures are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2015 as part of the Historic England Reconnaissance Recording programme.
