Archaeology Notes

NO20NE 239 281 098

The cropmarks of a segmented timber structure have been recorded from aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1994) situated in a field W of Heatherhall Wood, and approximately 50m SW of the enclosure (NO02NE 31) recorded at NO 2815 0987. A possible mortuary structure, the rectilinear cropmarks are approximately 30m in length and roughly 15m wide with a slightly tapering NE end. The cropmarks of a possible house have also been detected, just to the SE of the timber structure at NO c. 2815 0980.
