Air photographic site SW of Elford is a complex of archaeological features visible primarily through aerial photography, located in the parish of Elford in Staffordshire. The site comprises crop mark evidence indicating settlement activity and field systems of Iron Age and Romano-British date. The features were first identified and recorded through systematic aerial survey, a methodology that has proven essential for understanding the archaeological landscape in this region where surface evidence is minimal. The site represents the kind of subsurface settlement pattern that characterises the Midlands during the later prehistoric and Roman periods, though ground-level verification and excavation have not been extensively undertaken.
