Full description
July 1946. RAF air photograph.
Shows a series of curving ditches bounding small enclosures to south of Wood Farm. Form suggests medieval fields or tofts.
October 1998. Visit.
Confirmed the ditches as extant shallow but broad depressions. One truncated by field boundary to east. No suggestion of building platforms or pottery in molehills. Area possibly ploughed since 1946 and re-seeded as features are degraded, with possible infill in north.
B. Cushion (NLA), 2 November 1998.
