Summary

A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably relating to a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs. The ring ditch is circular in plan with a ditch of up to 3.5m wide and an external diameter of 30m. Two small gaps are present in the ring ditch on its western side, but these do not appear to be deliberate entrances. It is located at approximately 51m OD on a west facing slope at the head of a small dry valley. It lies at the southern edge of a dispersed barrow cemetery (NHER 45008). An undated linear ditch cropmark crosses the northern part of the ring ditch (NHER 43338).
