NT 7096 7713 Aerial photographic evidence (CUCAP AVZ 71; NMRS NT77NW 45) suggested the presence of a group of three souterrains. Archaeological assessment - in the form of topsoil stripping over a wide area - failed to find any evidence for souterrains or for any other archaeological features.

The features previously identified as three souterrains are probably Second World War trenches that have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP AVZ 71). The previously cited location for this site lies 840m to the W and is presumably the focus for the archaeological assessment undertaken in 1996.
