Full description
Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DSM 2022 - 1m Last return (Cartographic). SDV365448.
Clustered group of four circular features visible in field on the lidar data in the north-western corner of the field plot. Not visible on aerial photographs. Three measure around 5-6m in diameter, the other is larger (c.10m diameter) and may represent prehistoric hut circles, the remains affected by ploughing / other historic farming activities.
This group may be related to field clearance as suggested by their location in the field corner, however, there are a number of other similar features noted in neighbouring field plots (see related records) that may support their interpretation as potential huts.
