Monuments and other features:
Possible circular ditch. Electrical resistance investigation has identified along curved feature of such regularity that it could be a segment of an earth circle. Field boundaries to the north suggest that they follow part of the circumference. If this were the case, then the circle would have a diameter of about 220m and the ditch a width of about 4m. Slightly higher levels of resistance on the outside edge of the ditch may indicate the presence of a bank.
Linear feature. This feature spans the diameter of the hypothetical circle. It is 160m long with a divided terminus to the northeast 25m wide. The southwest terminus is about 10m wide. Very faint lines of higher resistance indicated in the geophysics survey can be seen to run either side of the feature. A Roman road cuts across the southern end. A number of possible interpretations have been suggested including: an embanked cursus; a long barrow; a field lynchet. A gradiometer survey proved to be unsuccessful because of the underlying geology. Further investigation is planned. The feature lies in an elevated position.
Round barrows. Five round barrows have been identified and with one exception all have been completely destroyed. Four of them lie in fields to the east and north of the features above and are positioned on the most elevated area. The fifth barrow lies alongside the ancient road approaching the settlement from the south. It is just visible on aerial photographs and as a very faint earthwork.
The intersection of the two roads appears to have been the focus for the establishment of a settlement that can be dated by pottery finds to between the 1st century BC and the 4th century AD. Geophysics has indicated a number of Iron Age enclosures and round houses. Across the entrance to one enclosure a rectangular building (probably Roman) had been constructed. The settlement appears to have extended for at least 300m along the south slope of the valley above a stream and over 200m to the north. There are indications of a number of other buildings all from the Romano-British period.
