Line of three circular features visible in field on the lidar data. Not visible on aerial photographs and do not appear to be related to field clearance. All measure 6-7m in diameter and may represent prehistoric hut circles, the remains affected by ploughing / other historic farming activities. Unlikely to be related to field clearance as they are not restricted to the field corners / boundary area. A number of other similar features noted in neighbouring field plots (see related records).
