{1} Cropmarks; ditched enclosures and other ditches, as well as a possible ring ditch; NCC aerial photograph:SP7569/013 (+);
{2} The Iron Age activity was focused around three enclosures and a trackway on a north-west to south-east alignment. The geophysical survey identified two linked rectangular enclosures towards the north of the proposed development area. Abundant pottery from the enclosures suggests a late 1st-mid-2nd century AD date.
