Monument Number 66642
Hob Uid: 66642
Location : Shropshire Oswestry Rural
Grid Ref : SJ3392027190
Summary : Cropmarks of a series of conjoined sub rectangular enclosures - possibly a field system. Possibly Iron Age or Roman in date.
More information : SJ 33922720: Cropmark of single-ditched sub-rectangular enclosure. (1) The site lies upon a low ridge in gently undulating, boulder clay farmland, within a field at present under a beet crop. The markings are of a sub-rectangular enclosure, with large, rounded corners, measuring about 50.0 to 70.0 m north-west to south-east, by 70.0 m transversely; the broader end being to the north-west. Nothing was seen on the ground to account for the air photograph markings (a), which from their form and situation, are probably of a pastoral enclosure of Iron Age/Romano British date. (2) This enclosure was recorded as part of the Cambridge University Cropmark Project (1981-5). The project archive is held in the RCHME archive stores (collection UID: 1035090). (3) An examination of further photography (4a) reveals that the enclosure recorded above is infact part of a series of enclosures which perhaps represent a field system. Possible Iron Age/Roman date. (4-4a)
