What is recorded here

In tillage. Identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BDI005 and BDI006, 14 July 1970) and interpreted as a rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 40m). The cropmark delineating the fosse along the S side is particularly pronounced and there appears to be an entrance on the E side. Another rectilinear enclosure (KK020-030001-) was also identified immediately to the N but this may be part of a larger co-axial field system running NE-SW. There is a ringfort (KK020-031----) c. 40m to the SW. A curving trackway (KK020-030003-) was also identified as a cropmark, running roughly NE-SW to the NW of the ringfort. A sandpit, indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map is also evident as a cropmark on the aerial photograph immediately W of the enclosure.
