{3} No surface remains

{4} Settlement (TL 062917 fig 113) on the edge of the R.Nene flood-plain, on River Gravel at 70 ft above OD. Air photographs show a small settlement of rectangular form with a circular feature, either a ring ditch or a hut site, within it. The settlement is connected to a long length of parallel ditches, probably a trackway running in a NE-SW direction [HER 2675/1]. At its SW end this trackway turns W and passes into Tansor parish where it can be traced back to the R. Nene.
