Summary

Cropmarks of incomplete enclosures of possible Roman or medieval date are visible on aerial photographs. A group of parallel and perpendicular linear ditches appear to define incomplete rectilinear enclosures. These enclosures are aligned on a southwest to northeast axis. The alignment of these possible enclosures is similar to that of a road to its northwest. They do not correspond to field boundaries shown on an estate map of Sedgeford dating to 1631 (S2). It is possible that these are field or enclosure boundaries of possible Roman or medieval date.
