The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB90.BZ.15) shows cropmarks of a rectilinear field system defined by fosses; a ring-ditch is integrated within the field system. It is plough-levelled and likely to be post-medieval in date. First recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1990.
