A cropmark of a ring ditch, possibly a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1-3). The grid reference of this cropmark has been adjusted from TG 3279 3315 to TG 3279 3313. The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan with an external diameter of 18.5m. The ditch is less than 1m wide giving the ring ditch and internal diameter of 16.5m. A pit, possible a grave, is present just to the north of the centre of the ring ditch. It is possible that this ring ditch is Bronze Age in date and may relate to a round barrow. It may form the southwest end of an alignment of ring ditches (NHER 39120, NHER 39132) extending for 1.3km to the northeast to a barrow cemetery (NHER 6914).
