Full Description

A number of irregular and rectilinear enclosures visible as cropmarks. A possible trackway is also visible to the northwest.

They appear to consist of prehistoric enclosures clustering together, perhaps forming a connected system. To the northwest and possibly overlying these are more regular rectilinear enclosures, perhaps of Romano-British date. The entire series of marks cover an area c.240m x c.240m.

Visible on aerial photos of 1999 and on Google Earth image of 2007.

A faint double-ditched trackway is visible to the east (2007 Google Earth image). Visible for 70m in a roughly E-W alignment, between TR 29494904 and TR 29584904.
A further very fain trackway is visible to the west (2007 Google Earth image). Visible for 250m, in a roughly NW-SE alignment, between TR 29044911 and TR 29254900.
