Description

Castles Hayes marked in Non antiquity type character on OS 6in map of 1954 <1a>

The field name Castle Hayes is recorded on the Tithe map of 1843 <2>

Well-defined cropmark visible at the southern extent of this feature on 1999 vertical aerial photography. Does this relate to this field name? There are a number of similar features in the area evident on the 1999 layer so it is possible that they are not of archaeological origin. <3><4>
