Full Description
TR 32465125 to TR 32405130. Rectangular enclosures north of Stoneheap Farm, visible on aerial photographs. (1)
See especially 2007 Google Earth image. Small settlement abounding two trackways. One trackway runs roughly NE-SW, visible for 1.4km. It consists of two roughly parallel ditches on average 7m apart. The other trackway runs NW-SE for 125m, and forms a T-junction with the other trackway. It is around this junction that the settlement is located.
The settlement consists of a number of rectilinear enclosures, possibly representing a number of successive enclosures. There is a cluster of enclosures to the south and east of the trackway T-junction, and another cluster 200m NW of the junction. There are some further linear features to the NE of the junction (either side of the modern road), though whether these are larger enclosures, boundary ditches, or something else is not clear.
