28 June 1996. NLA air photography.
Cropmarks of 2 large ring ditches, both approx. 50m diam.
Their size and landscape setting suggests that they are the remnants of Bronze Age burial mounds.
The western example may also have a cluster of pits around it, although these may be geological.
To the north is a rectangular enclosure and 2 parallel linear features, which may also be part of a similar enclosure.
S. Massey (NLA), 9 October 2001.
