Monument record 239 - Possible Prehistoric/Romano-British Settlement, Wardenhill Farm

Cropmarks of ditched enclosures, field systems and other probable archaeologial features identified on aerial photographs over a wide area.

{1} The field to the east is called Black Hill. Cropmarks of subrectangular enclosures and linear ditches can be seen on aerial photos NCCAP:SP5149/1-12.

{3} Undated cropmark site. Their shapes and forms suggest early enclosures connected by sinuous trackways that may have prehistoric origins, and perhaps continued in use into the Roman period.

{6} Cropmark of enclosures recorded at SP 516 495, SP 514 493 and SP 517 496 AP in 1981. (1)
Two parallel ditches identified at SP 517 491, recorded on AP in 1982.
