Full Description
{1} An area of cropmarks extending c.200m eastwards from the parish boundary and covering an area of c.3ha. The cropmarks are mostly linear or perpendicular about a north-east to south-west axis, but amorphous curvilinear features area also present. Their date and function are unknown.
Scanning of the area of the cropmarks produced no significant anomalies. Occasional readings above the background response were noted but these were isolated and widely spaced examples that did not appear to denote archaeological activity.
{2} Ditch, possibly geological, recorded on AP in 1981.
