Summary

Cropmarks which have formed over infilled ditches of potential prehistoric and Romano-British date are visible on oblique aerial photographs of 1984 and 1985, to the south of Old Rydon Lane. The nature of the cropmarks is difficult to determine, but may represent the remains of a field system or corner of a possible enclosure of potential prehistoric to Romano-British date.

Cropmarks which have formed over infilled ditches of potential prehistoric and Romano-British date are visible on oblique aerial photographs of 1984 and 1985, to the south of Old Rydon Lane. The linear cropmarks are northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned visible and appear to have been partly truncated to the east by construction of the M5. The nature of the cropmarks is difficult to determine, but may represent the remains of a field system or corner of a possible enclosure of potential prehistoric to Romano-British date. A number of similar such cropmarks have been identified within the area.
