This rather nice cropmark plot appeared in Bewley 1998 Lincolnshire's Archaeology from the Air. Rather less helpfully, it appeared unadorned by anything as useful as NGR reference points (let alone base mapping). It is at least at a handy 1:25000 and individual cropmark complexes are provided with six-figure grid references elsewhere in the volume, so we have somewhere to start. Beyond that it's trying to spot places where the pattern is interrupted by a road line or block of woodland (the cropmarks just north of Bag Enderby do the trick) so as to position them with some confidence (even if only at this small scale). Why? Well, there may be some work on the site at Ashby Puerorum in the northwest corner. Bulldozed in the 1980s to produce embanked stock compounds the question is what, if anything, survives?
