The features referred to above are possible prehistoric or Roman
boundaries, perhaps the remains of trackways and a field system.
They are visible as cropmarks and have been mapped from aerial
photographs. The cropmarks may represent a number of phases as they
overlap in parts. A potential Neolithic cursus (described in
SU 67 SE 108) appears to be partially overlain by part of the field
system. The trackways are defined by parallel ditches and are
situated at the far north-west and south-east extremities of the
cropmarks. The field system is defined by a series of perpendicular
ditched boundaries. The cropmarks are centred at SU 6515 7015 and are
bounded by the following grid references: SU 6565 7023, SU 6590 7109
and SU 6555 6974. (Morph No.s TG.321.1-5)
