NH 576 656 A proposed housing development threatened an enclosure identified in 1977 as a cropmark feature. Extensive trial trenching failed to find any trace of an enclosure ditch and it must be presumed to have been a shallow-ditched feature which is now ploughed out. The area of the cropmark will remain as a protected feature in the new housing development.
