More information : A Prehistoric or Roman ditch defined forked linear feature was
visible on air photographs and has been mapped at 1:2500 scale. The
significance or purpose of this feature is difficult to discern. It
is centred at SK 9681 8675 and either overlies or underlies an
enclosure recorded in SK 98 NE 41. The linear feature is 100m long
in its longest sinuous stretch and could be part of a substantial
ditched enclosure, a trackway or possibly some form of water
management system. A small square cut feature is bisected by the
southern end of the fork; it is not clear whether the relationship is
deliberate or fortuitous. This feature may be associated with the
extensive Iron Age or Roman settlement just to the east (SK 98 NE 7).
