The cropmarks were previously recorded under this number are now recorded under separate NHER numbers. The cropmarks of two possible farmsteads or small settlements of probable Iron Age and Roman date are under NHER 44880-1. The two Bronze Age round barrows or ring ditches are NHER 44882-3, plus an undated field system under NHER 44913. All undated and unphased cropmarks are recorded under NHER 44886. The ring ditch previously recorded at context 3 not mapped as part of NMP, as it appeared to be of geological origin on other aerial photographs.
