Parallel linear banks and ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1). They run for 420m in an ESE direction on a dead straight course. These features lie 50m to the north of the course a known Roman road and may be the original line of its course. The site was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
