Summary

The cropmarks of a group of multi-phase ditches, some of which are likely to be former field boundaries, are visible on aerial photographs. The ditches clearly indicate more than one phase of activity, at least one of which may date to the Iron Age to Roman period. Finds in the area include Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, late Saxon, medieval and post medieval material (NHER 37280-2 & 49090) and some of these may relate to activity associated with the cropmarks.
