Archaeology Notes

NJ15NW 12 139 577.

Father Edmund has in his possession an oblique air photograph of the area centred NJ 139 577 which shows at least fifty small circular crop marks with paths or tracks connecting them. The area is a cultivated SSE facing slope and there is no ground trace of the marks, but at NJ 1412 5795 within Heldon Wood is a group of about six circular platforms set into the slope and mutilated by trees, and measuring between c 5.0m and c 7.0m in diameter. They appear to be the same size as the cropmarks and are probably charcoal-burning platforms.

Visited by OS (A A) 13 May 1971.
