AP1 I have several photographs both winter and summer. There are several features, which show up as crop marks, there is also an oval shape on the top of the plateau which shows up in low angles photographs as a variation in the surface. The 'banjo" is about 250m from the oval on the gentle part of a donward slope. "Banjo" to stream at the bottom of the slope 200m. There is a roman villa 300m up stream same side set back from the stream 100m. There is also a spring which runs even in the worst droughts. There is not much of a subsoil layer, its usually topsoil then rock. There are several large blocks of white quarts up to 12 inches across in the "banjo" area. Lenght of paralel lines 80m approx, the diameter of the circle I need to check.
AP2 Assumed to be roman. Roman finds were excavated 20-30 years from the area under the farm building next to the headge. The site in the photograph was discovered last year. A road runs down hill 250m to either a road or stream. No trace of the road is visible after the stream, there is a old track running paralel to the stream
AP3 D:Ioes need more work.
