October 2007. Geophysical Survey.
Geophysical survey of an area to be developed (NHER 50596) revealed several anomalies likely of archaeological origin. Five circular ditches were identified, one of which corresponds with this ring ditch. A negative anomaly in the interior of the ring ditch may indicate former banks.

January 2008. Evaluation.
Trench 11 was positioned to investigate a geophysical anomaly. The ditch was 4m wide and a section excavated across it showed it to be approximately 0.8m deep. The sides of the ditch were gently sloping and its base was almost flat. A soil sample from the primary fill of the ditch contained only sparse flecks of charcoal, fragments of black tarry material, bone fragments (some of which were burnt) and small pieces of burnt or fired clay.
