Cropmarks are clearly visible at NGR TG 3309 0335, of what appears to be some form of building, with at least one internal subdivision. In addition to this there seems to be part of a circular enclosure and a trackway showing as cropmaks.
(The building cropmark is located inside the cirular enclosure).

Cropmarks of undated field boundaries, other ditches and a trackway or road are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). Cropmarks of a circular enclosure and possible building are now recorded separately as NHER 49519 and 49522. The central grid reference for the cropmarks at this site has been amended to TG 3299 0337. Two parallel linear ditch cropmarks are present on a south-west to north-east alignment. It is likely that they define a road or trackway. Incomplete field boundary ditch cropmarks are present in the north of the group. All of these cropmarks are of unknown date.
