Archaeology Notes

NT15NE 62 1726 5751

Oblique aerial photography has revealed an area of indeterminate cropmarks and pits 300m ESE of Spittal Farm (NT15NE 5). The most distinctive are a series of arcs of ditch, measuring about 30m to 40m in length, and three sides of a roughly square cropmark about 10m across surrounding a possible pit (RCAHMSAP 1996). These cropmarks intersect the NW side of the annexe of a Roman Temporary Camp (NT15NE 30).

Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 23 February 2000.

These amorphous cropmarks (RCAHMSAP 1996) are agricultural and geological in origin and include the former locations of two cattle feed bins.

Information from RCAHMS (ACM) 5 May 2008
