March 2015
Google Earth imagery from 2011 (S2) clearly shows the cropmarks of rectilinear enclosures orientated SW-NE with interior divisions, possibly field boundaries or farmstead enclosures. The cropmarks do not seem to show a Roman marching camp as previously recorded. Mapping amended to include enclosures to the north of the modern field boundary.
