Full Description

{1} Two sides of a rectangular ditched and banked earthwork enclosure. Also three small mounds of unknown purpose.

{2} Two sides of a ditch and rampart enclosure in Geddington Chase, similar to that in Grafton Park Wood; medieval? Also three small mounds of unknown purpose.

{3} Lidar imagery indicates that three sides of the enclosure survive. It is located at an oblique angle to the Roman road which survives immediately to the north, so is unlikey to be Roman in date.
