Full description

A curvilinear dark cropmark, just under 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1996. It may have formed over the remains of a buried ditch, and the proximity to the possible Iron Age or Romano-British enclosure (MDV11585) suggests that it could be associated. However the cropmark is only visible on a single run of aerial photographs and it was not picked up in archaeological work associated with this monument (SDV349846), so caution must be applied in interpretation.
