Description
Located on a gently undulating landscape. A grass-covered relict field system covering about 3.5 ha (c. 8.5 acres) is visible most clearly on Google Earth (28/01/2017; 16/03/2021) but is also visible on other dates and on other series of images. The fields are small (dims c. 40m x c. 30m) and appear to be defined by ditches (Wth c. 5-7m). An ENE-WSW linear feature (Wth c. 10-12m; L c. 250m) through the centre of the fields and defined by ditches on either side could be a roadway, but no houses are positively identified. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (28/01/2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 October, 2021
