Visit to the site showed earthworks to be intact and in good condition. Original mapping was incorrect leading to confusion over land use and has been corrected accordingly.

The earthworks, possibly hollow ways, described above are presumably those visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 0967 0135. Their appearance is more reminiscent of drainage (both natural and man-made) than of features of greater archaeological significance. The earthworks, and sometimes cropmarks, visible on the aerial photographs at this site form part of an extensive network of drains and former channels extending in both directions along the river valley, recorded 250m to the north as NHER 16657. Due to their low archaeological significance they have not been mapped by the NMP.
