Full Description
22 July 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks of linear features, enclosures and circular marks are visible.
The circular marks (faint/narrow ring ditches) are, in the main, probably the remains of 'stack stands' (sometimes called Riley circles), circular ditches of a broadly medieval date, and were presumably to provide local drainage around small haystacks etc.
H. Clare (NLA), 10 January 2002.
