Summary

However an agricultural or periglacial origin for the marks may be the most likely cause, rather than relating to an archaeological site. See also NHER 12854 in same field.

The cropmarks of possible rectangular enclosure and other fragmentary rectilinear ditches, may be visible on aerial photographs (S1-S5). However an agricultural origin for the marks may be the most likely cause, rather than relating to an archaeological site. The aerial photograph (S3) could suggest that at least parts of the rectilinear elements are caused by underlying patterned ground and periglacial features. See also NHER 12854 in same field.
