Full Description
Fragments of several linear ditched features visible are as cropmarks in field immediately west of Fordwich on 1980s RCHME oblique aerial photographs [1]. Interpretation of the features is hampered by the fact that most features are only partially visible; cropmarks showing only in sections of the field with the remainder of it apparently being not conducive to cropmark production.
The features comprise a sinuous E-W aligned linear feature, 250m length visible, and a Y-shaped ditched feature lying immediately to the north, around 45m length visible. The features appear to be fragments of a boundary or enclosure system which may represent a continuation of the system recorded as MWX43014, 60m to the south, which are likely to be of Later Prehistoric or Romano-British date.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
