Two circular cropmarks are visible on the CUCAP aerial photographs (S1) and have been mapped. They are also faintly visible on the RAF aerial photographs (S2). These two ring ditches are located at NGR TF 7255 4277 (centre) with a diameter of ca. 21m and TF 7258 4278 (centre) with a diameter of c. 25m. They are located near to the remains of Thornham Iron Age/Romano-British fort (NHER 1308).
It has previously been suggested that these ring ditches might be Iron Age hut circles.
H. Clare (NMP), 29 April 2002.
