Enclosures and field systems on Boreland Hill, Wiltshire, UK

"Celtic" fields can be seen surrounding two long ploughed-out prehistoric enclosures on Boreland Hill.

A KVR-1000 image of Boreland Hill (51.13N 1.83W), acquired in Jun 93, shows archaeological features which have been long sinced ploughed away and are now only visible as crop- and soil marks.

Prominent on this image are the "Celtic" field systems that surround two crop-marked oval enclosures.
