Full description
An earth bank up to 10m wide is visible on air photographs (p1) running SE-NW for 90m in a field to the south-west of Ashton Barton and was plotted as part of the NMP. On the photographs there are suggestions of further traces of the bank continuing in a broad curve through the field to the east but these are not conclusive enough to warrant plotting. A field visit was made by Geoff Walford who confirmed that the bank does continue into the adjacent field and noted further banks in the second field. The farmer suggests that the feature may be a leat feeding a pond to the north of the farm. The projected shape of the bank, however, suggests that it forms a large curvilinear enclosure, possibly an Iron Age/Romano-British round.
