Summary

The cropmarks of a square enclosure and field boundaries of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the south of the Harford Park and Ride site. The site consists of a series of former field boundaries and a square enclosure, which would appear to pre-date the 1840 Caistor St Edmund Tithe map, but are likely to be broadly medieval to post medieval in date.
