Cropmarks of two ring ditches of Bronze Age date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3190 0042. It is unclear which of the two ring ditches was previously recorded at this location. An incomplete ring ditch is present with a narrow ditch and a diameter of 34m. To its southwest is a complete circular ring ditch with a narrow ditch and a diameter of 19.5m. It is likely that these ring ditches are of Bronze Age date and that they relate to round barrows. They form part of a dispersed barrow cemetery (NHER 49492).
