Summary

The cropmarks of a possible ring ditch, potentially represent the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs within Dunston Park. Given the size of this feature it seems likely that it relates to a Bronze Age round barrow, however it is also possible that it relates to the post medieval park landscape and planting.
