(SK 2284 2170 - SK 2287 2175) "Ploughed down agger as gravelly ridge 18m wide and 0.3m high across ploughed field."
(SK 2294 2183 - SK 2301 2193) "Agger survives through copse averaging 10m wide and 0.5m high." Surveyed at 1:2500 (1)
(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. Centred at:-SK 2283 2170 (Morph No. FR.86.19.1) (3) |
