Site Form Crop Mark (Includes Soil Mark)
Site Condition AP visible Only
Details A series of linear crop marks are visible on a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1988, and other possible features on aerial photos taken in 1977. The linear features appear to represent earlier field boundaries, with two running parallel to each other forming a narrow trackway. Three of the lines towards the northern area of the fields form three sides of a rectilinear enclosure, within which areas of rigs can be seen as crop marks as well. There are also a number of indeterminate marks, as well as a possible circular feature towards the northeast corner of the field, though what this may represent is unclear.
