Circles in ground

pipasawrus · September 2023

Hi all, bit of a long shot (I'm writing a thesis on a village) I've taken a ariel picture of pasture land and there's several round circle patches which are only showing on the ariel view not as you're walking on the land. I know there was a Saxon/Middle age village there, so was wondering if that might have something to do with it.
Its been pasture land for many years now and does have live stock.
Many thanks in advance

In a dry year circles often appear in grazed fields and show up where dwellings or walls once were.

You need to talk to your County Archaeologist.

Agree with both the above. If you are convinced "something" is there then speak to the landowner as well as local historians and archaeologists.
Perhaps we will see you and Tony Robinson on TV soon
