Anyone care to a take guess as to this crop mark?
This crop mark has been visible for over 10yrs that I know of any ideas anyone? I have my own ideas but I would like some alternative eyes to make a comment. So please free to suggest anything sensible.

Not sure Baldric but there looks like a medieval gateway in the bottom centre of the picture?

It certainly looks as though it extends well into the other field, and to my mind, could be an enclosure of some kind. Well worth investigating.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

maybe the corner of a roman fort, we have a few around here, they look very similar except they usually have multi ditches.

Re: Anyone care to a take guess as to this crop mark?
Cheers chaps, you have confirmed my thoughts. My 1st reaction was Roman fortlet, and whilst as yet I have no proof, I have found quite a few Roman coins on an adjacent field, and these have covered the whole period from the invasion to 4C, so it looks extremely interesting.

I dont know if it's just me but can I see some circles in that rectangle shape.If you look at the bottom right where the dogleg is then look up there are two circles that look like a ring ditch?

Also worth checking local records to make sure it isn't something more modern.
