Full Description
26 June 1996. NLA air photography.
Cropmarks of two ring ditches visible, possibly relating to Bronze Age barrows.
To the north of these are two broad linear features.
There is a possiblity that these are geological in origin, as the whole are shows signs of differential bands of material.
However the linearity of the features favours an anthropological origin, function/date unknown.

The cropmarks of a ring ditch are visible on Google Earth imagery form 2006. The ring ditch is centred at approximately TF 9680 0591. The feature likely relates to the site of a Bronze Age round barrow, however the possibility that the feature could relate to a post medieval garden or parkland feature associated with Letton Hall Park (NHER 30515), cannot be ruled out.
