Monument record TR 26 SE 226 - Medieval - post-medieval enclosure, Monkton Marshes

Summary

An enclosure is visible as an earthwork on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs. A ditch demarks three sides of a rectilinear enclosure with the fourth side formed by a field ditch belonging to the current field layout. The enclosure appears to be integrated with the field layout shown on historic mapping and probably represents a previously unrecorded element of this system. It is likely to be of medieval or post-medieval date.
