Summary
Map
Type and Period (1)
Full Description
Field boundaries visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The features run parallel with the modern field pattern and are therefore likely to be medieval or later in date, although their close proximity to a possible Iron Age field system (MDO2973), located 70m to the north-east, means a prehistoric origin cannot be ruled out either. {1-4}
