Cropmark of ring ditch visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S1) and NLA oblique aerial photographs from 1993 (S2). It measures 30m in diameter and the ditch is between 1-2m wide. Several elongated internal features or pits can be identified, the largest being 6m by 1.5m, centred on TG 0735 4056. It is possible that these are grave pits relating to a Bronze Age barrow site within the ring ditch. However this area of the field has also been identified as the possible site of a Pagan Saxon cemetery (NHER 31172), so it is possible that these elongated pits relate to Saxon burial activity, possibly associated with the re-use and appropriation of an existing barrow.
