Full Description
{1} Cropmarks of linear ditches and possibly a ring ditch and rectangular enclosure. At least one of the linear ditches appears to run across an area of ironstone extraction- possibly some or all of the features are therefore modern. There are various faint features. The 'ring ditch', if archaeological, is not perfectly circular and has a very wide ditch- possibly a windmill mound. The rectangular enclosure is very faint.
