Name: | Enclosure north of Haydon Common, Kenton |

Summary
Indistinct cropmarks visible on aerial photographs of 1989 on the north-east facing slope north of Haydon Common, Kenton, have been interpreted as evidence of a curvilinear ditched enclosure of later prehistoric date. A non-archaeological origin for the cropmark may be probable.

Indistinct cropmarks of possible curvilinear ditches are visible on aerial photographs of 1989 on the north-east facing slope north of Haydon Common, Kenton. The cropmarks have previously been interpreted as evidence of a curvilinear ditched enclosure of later prehistoric date. However, the irregular and indistinct nature of the cropmarks on the available photographs and their topographic situation at the confluence of two shallow combes might support an interpretation of a non-archaeological origin for the cropmarks, perhaps differential soil-moisture deficit caused by natural drainage. As such, the cropmarks have not been transcribed by the survey.
