Aerial Photographic Interpretation (19 March 2014)
Several pit alignments and a cluster of pits have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1981) to the S of a former river channel. The longest pit alignment is made up of a series of elongated pits and extends from NE to SW (NT 33954 70669 to NT 33760 70496) for a distance of about 265m. A cluster of pits, formerly recorded as a pit circle, adjoins the pit alignment at its S end. Three short sections of further pit alignments have been recorded to the E.
