Full Description
The cropmarks of one or more ring ditches described below are now recorded as NHER 53552.
19 July 1977 and 12 July 1978. Cropmarks (S1).
Cropmarks of two ring ditches, one definite, and frequently seen, the second and larger mark (best seen on (S2)) is less well defined. The field is of rough pasture and prone to develop fungus rings, which may be the cause of this latter phenomena.
