Undated crop mark enclosures, W of Meadowside, Bretford

2 Traces of up to three possible undated enclosures show on aerial photographs.
3 The cropmarks apparent on aerial photographs were mapped as part of the English Heritage National Mapping Project. A slight bank, which appears to be a headland associated with ridge and furrow ploughing, was also mapped.
4 Fieldwalking undertaken as part of the East Warwickshire Fieldwalking Project. 264 flint artefacts were recorded from the field. Recorded as field BG01. The finds were centred near, but not directly on the cropmark enclosure. Finds included a Mesolithic microlith, a Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead and many blades, cores and scrapers. However, the characteristics of the tools and methods of flint knapping used on most of the pieces were more typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age flint assemblages.
56 A number of features additional to those identified by the National Mapping Programme are visible across this area in Google Earth (1999 layer) and in modern aerial photography. Features include a possible trackway and pit cluster centred on SP4237 7647, and an enclosure centred on SP4230 7650.
