20 June 1990. NAU air photography.
Two or three ring ditches and adjacent linear cropmarks.
D. Edwards (NAU).

These are thick white circles of very small diameter actually sitting on top of the linear feature in a line; the linear feature seems to be a removed field boundary. They are not at all like Bronze Age ring ditches; could they be tree pits in the former hedgerow, or wartime structures, or something similar?
