The cropmarks relating to several phases of archaeological features have been recorded separately. Cropmarks seemingly relating to the Roman settlement and fields have been recorded under 50945-7. NHER 50948-9 include possible cropmarks of non-Roman date, with NHER 50949 possible representing pre-Roman date activity, although this is not certain. The archaeological origin of NHER 50948 is also uncertain.
