The cropmarks of a series of sub-rectangular sunken features, possibly the remains of former buildings, and an enclosure, all of probably medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs to the northwest of Chapelfield Farm (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 3613 2464. It seems likely that these cropmarks relate the former leper chapel thought to have been located in this area, hence the name ‘Chapelfield’, see NHER 8329 for details.

The sunken buildings or large cut features range in size from 2m to 16m and the majority are contained within a rectangular ditched enclosure, approximately 55m by 110m. Although a number of larger and more amorphous features are not within this boundary and it is possible that some of these larger areas relate to extraction. The area within and around this enclosure has noticeably sparser or stunted crop, which would suggest a compacted surface underlying the crop. This has been depicted on the mapping with an ‘extent of area’ polygon.
