Monument record SLY 141 - A possible Later Prehistoric or Roman field system and trackways visible as cropmarks in fields to the north of Church End, Shotley

A possible Later Prehistoric or Roman field system and trackways are visible as cropmarks of ditches on aerial photographs, centred on TM 23963638 in fields to the north of Church End in Shotley parish. The site consists of a number of ditched trackways, centred on TM 23693654, TM 24073628 and TM 23813644. They do not follow the same alignment and a narrower ditch in the centre of the latter trackway suggests that it has been recut at some stage. A number of rectilinear enclosures appear to be related to the trackway located at TM 24073628. These enclosures are centred on TM 24073634 and measure roughly 40m by 50m. Other linear features located in these fields may also be field boundaries. (S1-S5)
