Map

9 July 1992. NLA air photography.
Ring ditch.
D. Edwards (NLA).

The ring ditch is of 'solid' form and is approached by a pale streak from the south. All around are a number of enclosure cropmarks, some clearly part of the existing field system, but others are fragments of an older underlying pattern.
E. Rose (NLA), 23 January 1997.

September 2011.
The 'ring ditch' has been reinterpreted as a bomb crater following consideration of 1946 RAF aerial photography. This clearly shows upcast around the feature and two further bomb craters to the south west (NHER 56161).
K. Powell (HES). 30 September 2011.
