Full Description
Found before 1969.
'Flint axes' reported as found along dry glacial valley, picked up by workers.
NCM card by E. B. Green (NCM).
(Ordnance Survey map shows a stream in this 'dry' valley. E. Rose, NAU).
June 1976 and 1 August 1980. Cropmarks.
In the eastern of the two fields marked (Holt, 0720 4035).
Cropmark of a large ring ditch with wide outer ditch and possible smaller mark within; a 'normal' ring ditch, and perhaps a segment of a third.
Rectangular features also.
E. Rose (NAU), 1977 and 21 June 1982.
5 July 1994. NLA air photography.
Two ring ditches, as previously recorded, visible.
No readily discernable trace of possible third.
Both rings appear to have indistinct internal features.
The larger is actually more like an enclosure, although no break/entrance within circumference is visible.
M. Brennand (NLA), 12 February 2001.

Cropmarks previously recorded under this site, now listed under NHER 27169.
