NMR Information:

Extensive traces of settlement of Romano-British form show as cropmarks on aerial photographs. One cropmark complex centred on SE 670507 covers an area of about 500 metres by 600 metres, and comprises a scatter of dispersed small enclosures. A short stretch of double-ditched trackway 150 metres long runs across part of the area. Towards the centre of the complex there occurs a sub-rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 55 metres by 40 metres defined by a pair of ditches. (1-4)

Recent aerial photography has revealed further details to the rectilinear enclosures at the centre of this Romano-British site.
These additional features were seen as cropmarks and mapped at 1:10,000 scale. (5-6)
