Monument record TQ 57 SE 1132 - A square cropmark of uncertain date

Summary

A square cropmark of uncertain date which corresponds to a depression on the ground. Finds of possible Roman or Medieval building materials have also been made here. This possible site is in relatively close proximity to a known Roman villa and settlement to the north-west so may relate to a Roman building, but has also been postulated as an alternative site for the medieval chapel of St Margaret Helle(s), traditionally sited to the south-east on Ordnance Survey map. The depiction of the remnants of the now demolished chapel on an antiquarian map of the 18th century may possibly give some credence to this alternative site.
