Aerial photography has revealed a series of cropmarks, including pits, and a field-system, across a promontory within a meander of the River Earn immediately to the SW of South Mains farmstead (NN91NW 64). The pits are relatively large (2-3m in diameter) and the majority of them run along the edge of the promontory, in a zig-zag alignment, which is also followed by a intermittent linear cropmark. Further cropmarks on the promontory include an arc of ditch (NN c.9019 1799), indeterminate markings, and a series of adjoining sub-rectangular enclosures representing a field-system. A further concentration of cropmarks, with no clear form, are visible 70m to the S below the promontory.
