Cropmark complex north-east of Model Farm is a prehistoric archaeological site in Berkshire, comprising a network of linear features and enclosures visible primarily through cropmark evidence. The site demonstrates settlement and land division patterns characteristic of the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, when such linear boundaries were commonly employed to organise agricultural land and define territorial holdings. The precise chronology and functional character of individual elements within the complex remain subject to archaeological interpretation, though the scale and configuration of the features suggest a site of some organisational complexity. Such cropmark complexes serve as important evidence for prehistoric land use and settlement hierarchy in the Thames Valley region, where ploughing has obscured surface remains that survive as soil and vegetation variations detectable from aerial survey.
