Monument record ARW 068 - Cropmarks of an enclosure and adjacent trackway

Cropmarks of an irregular enclosure, with adjacent trackway of possible Iron Age date. The enclosure is 104m by 63m at the widest points, with a possible entrance in the west boundary. The south boundary of the enclosure consists a sinuous trackway which is visible for 244m, runing in a north-west - south-east direction. Within the interior of the enclosure are two small pits, 3m in diameter and a large macula, showing on several aerial photographs as an irregular dark area. This may represent a building platform or settlement area, although no specific features can be identified. The site lays to the south of a Roman/Iron age field system (SLY 006) and a further Iron Age enclosure 125m to the south-west. Helen Saudners (Essex County Council), March 2015. (S1-S2)
