15 June 1989. NAU aerial photography.
Two ring ditches.

These two features, side by side and of equal dimensions, seem most odd and look somewhat more like 'crop circles' than Bronze Age ring ditches. However, the RAF air photograph of 1946 shows a very faint dark ring on the site of the eastern of the two.

March 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (Field 12).
The survey of this area (which partially coincided with the recorded position of these cropmarks) revealed no anomalies of obvious archaeological significance. It was though noted that the speckled appearance of the data was characteristic of ground contaminated by building rubble or other magnetic hardcore. This is consistent with reports that much imported soil had been deposited on the field in recent years.
See report (S2) and NHER 55758 for further details.
It should be noted that a survey within the field to the east (Field 15; NHER 55760) did record two ring-ditches, approximately 250m to the east of this location. It is therefore possibly that it was these that were observed and then inaccurately located.
