More information : Area TF 070 522 Crop marks seen from the air by J.T. Hayes. (1)
The farmer knows of no finds having been made and there are no
surface traces of the marks in the areas which occur in level
fields, now under crop and not perambulated. The farmer reports no
finds (c).
The enclosures are almost certainly Romano-British in origin being
outliers of the very extensive settlement pattern of this
period to the east and south. OS air photographs refer (b). (2)
No change since report of 5.1.65 (3)
The cropmarks recorded by Authorities 1-3 area those of a probable
Iron Age or Roman field system which was mapped from good quality
air photographs. The following features were identified:-
A series of ditch-defined boundaries arranged perpendicular to an
E-W boundary, 330m in length, probably forms part of a system of
conjoined enclosures with an average breadth of 50m, centred at
TF 0696 5207. A N-S boundary, 150m in length, lies at right angles
to the first and has two conjoined rectilinear enclosures, 20-15m
by 15-10m against its west side; a third enclosure, 10m by 12m,
lies at the southern end of the boundary, centred at TF 0704 5208.

This description is based on data from the RCHME MORPH2 database.
Further cropmarks of probable Iron Age or Roman settlements, of
slightly different character, are recorded immediately to the south
of this location as TF 05 SE 79 and 80.
