Full Description

Banked and ditched linear features to the southeast of Little Moors Farmare visible on current Lidar imagery (1).

All four features are situated within a large irregular historic enclosure recorded on the OS 1st Edition map (2). They run broadly parallel to each other and to the east and west sides of the enclosure on a southwest-northeast axis and may be historic field boundaries of possible post medieval origin.
