Summary
This curvilinear aerial photograph mark, probably a cropmark rather than a bank as described by the Royal Commission (1985), was not visible on the ground during 1989 fieldwork visit. The area is in an infant conifer plantation and lank grass. The mark which may be a silted drainage ditch is of no archaeological significance.
