Archaeology Notes

See also NO33SW 46.

This monument comprises the remains of two souterrains and associated features represented by cropmarks visible on oblique aerial photographs. It lies on fairly level ground in arable farmland at around 20m OD. It comprises a large souterrain, some 20m long by about 4m wide, truncated to the N by the modern road. Some 20m to the SSE is a second souterrain, some 25m long by approximately 3m wide, curving around a dark circular cropmark that may represent an associated building. Overlapping with this second souterrain is a small rectangular cropmark which may represent a slightly later building.
