Archaeology Notes

NT54NW 50 5334 4966.

Aerial photography has revealed three sides of a sub-rectangular settlement 210m WSW of Huntington farmsteading. It measures about 37m by at least 33m, within a ditch 3m to 4m wide, with an entrance on the SW side. The ditch on this side kinks to the N for its last visible 6m. A circular mark, about 11m in diameter, is visible in the centre of the settlement, and is probably a house. The cropmark of a barrow (NT54NW 50) has been recorded 20m to the ENE, and a linear cropmark (NT54NW 76) passes through the NE corner of the same field. It was previously interpreted as an enclosure.
