NHER 36422 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated enclosure, ditches and pits

26 June 1996. NLA air photography.
Cropmarks of rectangular double-ditched enclosure which appears to underlie old field boundaries which are marked on the 1902-7 2nd edition OS map.
Several pit-like positive anomalies can be seen within the enclosure.
Other linears and enclosures can be seen to the north of the enclosure, these appear to be related to the modern arrangement of farms and therefore likely to be relatively recent (Medieval onwards).
The eastern element of the site also appears to be double-ditched. These boundaries meet up with those on the 2nd edition map, and are also likely to be post medieval land divisions.

Possible enclosures, ditches and pits of an unknown date are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S2-S3). The feature consists of a long ditch which runs from approximately TG 1469 2248 to approximately TG 1463 2248 before heading north. It is likely that this long ditch relates to part of a large enclosure. A second possible smaller enclosure can be seen within the large enclosure centred at approximately TG 1467 2256. The date and function of the enclosures are unknown. From the size and alignment of the features, it is probable that the enclosures are medieval- post medieval date in date; however, an earlier Iron Age-Roman date could also be possible. A number of linear ditches on multiple alignments can be seen across the area and within the large enclosure. These linear ditches may have related to land division and boundaries. The majority of the possible boundaries may date to the medieval- post medieval period. Its possible that the approximately north east – south west aligned ditches in the centre of the area (centred at approximately TG 1467 2258) may be earlier in date. The features are overlain by a series of post medieval boundaries seen on the Tithe, First and Second Edition Ordnance Survey Map (S4-S6). Some of these boundaries can still be seen as earthworks in the 1940s (S1) before being subsequently levelled and seen as cropmarks (S2-S3). The post medieval boundaries are mapped in good detail on the historic maps have therefore not been recorded as part of this project. A number of undated pit features can also be seen in the centre of the area (centred at approximately TG 1468 2255). Extent of area mapping has been used to show the area of pits where it is unclear as to whether the features are natural or archaeological in origin. Geological cropmarks can be seen on the consulted sources in this area and its possible that some of the mapped features may be natural in origin. These features are in close proximity to a possible Bronze Age ring ditch approximately 60m to the north west (NHER 64208).The monument polygon has been updated to the extent of the features as seen on S1-S3)
