Overview

History & significance

Cropmark enclosure and pits NE of St Patrick's Avenue is an archaeological site of Iron Age date located in Berkshire. The monument comprises an enclosure visible as a cropmark, together with associated pits, detected through aerial photography in the landscape northeast of St Patrick's Avenue. Such cropmark sites represent subsurface archaeological features, typically ditches and postholes, which become visible during certain growing conditions as variations in crop growth reflecting the underlying archaeological deposits. The Iron Age date suggests occupation or land use during the pre-Roman iron-working period in Britain, though the specific function and extent of activity at this particular site would require further archaeological investigation to establish with certainty.
