More information : A settlement and field system of probable Roman date were seen as
cropmarks and mapped from air photographs. An enclosure complex of
superimposed enclosures, representing multiphase development, is
possibly a villa complex centred at SE 7915 4034. The average
dimensions of the enclosures are less than 45 m; they are all very
regular with straight sides and rounded corners, but the majority are
not completely visible. One enclosure, 30 by 30 m and
centred at SE 7911 4025, has a slightly different alignment to the
main complex, but similar to the field system 300 m to the west. The
field system has an integral trackway, aligned north-south. A group
of up to five conjoined enclosures is associated on the east; centred
at SE 7880 4030, only one is completely visible and it has dimensions
of 50 m and 30m. Fragments of ditches to either side of the trackway
indicate further enclosures. (1-2) |
