| Name: | Cropmark ditches at Greenland Head Cross, Loddiswell |
|---|
Summary
Cropmarks which have formed over buried ditches are visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 2018. They are possibly associated with a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system recorded to the north, or with the extensive cropmark remains of a late prehistoric or Roman enclosure and field system to the southeast.

Two cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 2m wide and north to south and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 2018. They do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The cropmarks are of largely uncertain origin, although may be associated with a 19th century catch meadow system recorded to the north (MDV127586), or with the extensive cropmark remains of a late prehistoric or Roman enclosure and field system to the southeast (MDV127690). The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
