NHER 66201 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of a possible Bronze Age ring ditch

July 2022. Air Photo Interpretation.
A possible Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen as a cropmark on 2006 aerial photographs (S1).
The cropmark is visible on the edge of a field boundary and is very faint. However, its size and position is very similar to a ring ditch recorded approximately 200m to the north (NHER 66200) and therefore it is possible that it is the remains of another ring ditch.
This ring ditch is one of a small group (NHER 36348) arranged north-south on ground to the east of a watercourse. Other ring ditches in this area include NHER 66203 and NHER 66200 to the north and NHER 64386, and less convincingly NHER 66202 to the south. An additional less-certain cropmark (NHER 66204) located approximately 400m to the north has not been included in this group. A further area to the south extremely tentatively identified as a possible ring ditch (NHER 11679) is now believed to be of natural origin.
