NHER 11971 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Bronze Age barrow cemetery

Five ring ditches seen by O.G.S. Crawford on (S1) at TF 8037 1460, 8044 1462, 8051 1465 and 8058 1475.

1972.
When area visited by Ordnance Survey inspectors, eastern two had been destroyed by gravel workings, remainder were under stubble and could not be seen on ground. Information from (S2).

Two of these are visible at TF 8033 1463 and 8045 1455. The latter one is half concealed by a plantation of trees.
J. E. Bown (NAU), 17 December 1980.

The feature between these two, believed to be a third ring ditch by O.G.S. Crawford is only visible on some of the NAU air photographs; it is small and faint and unlike the others.

September 1982.
Copies of (S1) received by NAU. These show the five ring ditches; the second from west, faint on NAU air photographs, seem clear enough here. The eastern two are also convincing but pace Ordnance Survey, only one appears to have been probably destroyed by the pit, the other is under plantation of trees in former southeast corner of field.
E. Rose (NAU), 3 September 1982.

The ring ditch at TF 8059 1743 was removed by the gravel company early 1986, but others are said not to be threatened.
