Aerial Photographic Transcription (23 March 2012)

What may be a sub-rectangular building is visible as cropmarking on an oblique aerial photograph. It measures about 13m from ENE to WSW by perhaps 6m transversely within a narrow trench less than 1m across. The SSE side is straight, but the two ends appear to be bowed, while the N side is rather indistinct. The long axis of the possible building lies parallel to the road.
