Full Description
9 July 1973. Ordnance Survey air photography.
Subrectangular enclosure.
These features may just be enclosure field boundaries but they had gone by 1946. The alignment of these features is at odds with the modern layout, so I think it possible that they may be pre-enclosure.

November 1992-January 1993. Systematic Fieldwalking Survey.
Evaluation on proposed route of Hardwick Landfill site access road (Field 2):
