Summary

A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs. Linear ditches previously recorded under this NHER number are now included as part of NHER 12997. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is located on a south facing slope at approximately 11m OD. A second ring ditch is located 130m to the northeast (NHER 42081). It is possible that both of these ring ditches are outliers from a barrow cemetery located 450m to the east (NHER 8645). A linear ditch cropmark of unknown date cuts across this ring ditch (NHER 12997).
