Full Description

Linear features possible representing a field system and a trackway, visible as cropmarks on the 2007 Google Earth image.

The cropmarks are not wonderfully clear, but there appears to be a length of ditch running for 100m+ in a roughly E-W direction, with two short perpendicular lengths extending 17m to the south (forming the NW corner) and 10m to the south (forming a T-junction). Roughly lining up with the latter ditch is a length of trackway, 50m to the south. This consists of two parallel ditches 8m apart, running in a roughly N-S direction, though only visible for 15m.

Any relationship to the nearby barrow (TR 25 SE 44) and cemetery (TR 25 SE 110) is unclear.

A further linear crosses the field a little to the south, on a NE-SW alignment. This might be a more modern field boundary.
