In field 3 two enclosures and a number of linear features were recorded by the gradiometry survey. A number of ring-ditches visible in aerial photographs could not be identified by the geophysical survey. A complex of buildings in the south of the area showed Court Lodge Farm, possibly dating to c. 1540 and in existence until the 20th century (1)
