19 June 1996. NLA air photography.
Cropmarks showing series of rectilinear enclosures, associated linears, pits and trackways.
Some of the cropmarks intersect suggesting a palimpsest of features.
The clearest feature is a sub-rectangular enclosure alongside a trackway. The track appears to line up with a dogleg/kink in the field boundary. This may indicate that this area of the site is medieval in origin and that some elements have become fossilised in field boundaries.
Much of the site may be medieval, although it is likely that some of the intersecting features etc, are earlier, possibly Late Iron Age to Roman.
