Full Description
Cropmarks are visible in a field west of Hinxhill. They appear to be a series of ditches, perhaps making up a field or drainage system. The most obvious section consists of seemingly parallel ditches turning through ninety degrees. Visible in aerial photos of 2006 and 2008.
They do not correspond to any features shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map but similar marks to the south of Hinxhill Road are mirrored in surviving trees from removed boundaries on this map.
The late C18 OS drawings show the road kinking here which broadly lines up with the cropmarks.
