Full Description

The cropmark of a circular ring ditch is visible on a single aerial photograph (S1). This feature measures approximately 25m in diameter. There appears to be a break in the ditch to the west-north-west and possibly another on the opposite side of the ring ditch to the east-south-east. This may be the remains of a Bronze Age barrow, or a Neolithic to Bronze Age hengiform monument, given the openings in the ditch.
A. Cattermole (HES), 6 September 2011.
