Full Description
The dry summer of 1959 accentuated crop-marks in the well-drained area of the Trent floodplan, and Dr St Joseph was able to obtain aerial photographs of a number of unsuspected sites. These included a cropmark of a ring ditch on Egginton Common, at approx. SK 284291. (1, 2) Under crop, no visual evidence on the ground. (3)
