(SK 2284 2170 - SK 2287 2175) Slight ridge across playing field.
(SK 2294 2183 - SK 2301 2193) No change. (2)
The agger (between SK 2284 2170 - SK 2287 2175) described by
authorities 1 and 2 was not seen on good quality APs. However,
cropmarks of four ditches on slightly different alignments (with a
maximum length of 142m) were seen. These probably represent flanking
ditches of the road which may have been recut, hence the differing
alignments.
