Further rectilinear enclosures and linear features are visible as cropmarks, including a trackway indicated by 2 parallel linears. It seems likely that these enclosures and linears form (or are part of) a field system.
There also appears to be the outline of a rectangular building, showing as parchmarks, towards the southern extent of the site.
