Full Description

Cropmarks: linear features, rectangular `pits' - probably agricultural in origin. <1> <2> <3> Cropmark of a possible rectilinear enclosure, about 40m across, possibly bi- vallate and possibly with an entrance. The area of the field on the CUCAP obliques, however, is mashed with periglacial geological features, making positive identification of the site difficult. Copies of the prints should be detained for the SMR. <4>
