Full Description
Cropmarks representing linear ditches of unknown function, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1976 [1], located in Kingsdown. These were located within one field and measured 165 x 160m at maximum dimensions. These ditches were not visible on OS historic mapping dating to 1877, 1899, 1908 or 1938 [2, 3, 4, and 5] as field boundaries. These features were not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [6].
Similar features were located in this area. Past field boundaries (MWX43692) crossed these features. Cropmarks were located at the field margins (MWX43695). To the S and W were irregularly shaped cropmarks (MWX43694) and to the W were circular cropmarks (MWX43693) and possible barrows (MKE6647).
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
