Location formerly cited as NO 721 810: no information acquired.
(GRC/AAS NO78SW 28: location cited as NO 7201 8109 and name as Denside). Vertical air photography (Jasair NO78 50288140, flown 6 May 1988) has recorded a series of linear cropmarks on a gentle slope at an altitude of 175m OD. These apparently represent superceded field boundaries; two of them run parallel to each other to form a narrow trackway. Three of the lines towards the northern area of the fields form three sides of a rectlinear enclosure, within which areas of rig can also be seen as cropmarks. There are also a number of indeterminate cropmarks and a possible circular feature towards the NE corner of the field; the significance of this last is unclear.
NMRS, MS/1739.
(NO 720 810) Series of linear cropmarks noted on vertical aerial photograph taken in 1988. They appear to represent earlier field boundaries, with two running parallel to each other, forming a narrow trackway. Three of the lines form three sides of a rectilinear enclosure within which areas of rigs can be seen, also as cropmarks.
