Full description

13 July 1993. NLA aerial photography.
Located near site of medieval village and church. Cropmark of an oval/sub-angular enclosure.
To the immediate east of the spinney is a square enclosure with co-joined linears. The area is largely masked by geology but it appears there is another enclosure (rectangular) to the far south of the spinny. Perhaps associated with NHER 7350.
