NHER 66203 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of a probable Bronze Age ring ditch

August 2001. Air photo interpretation.
Cropmarks of two ring ditches are visible in this area (S1) (S2).
This is the smaller and less clear of the two. Although it is quite faint it has the definite appearance of a ring ditch.The larger one is recorded under NHER 66200.
As well as these, several cropmarks of linear features are visible. The origin of these is unceratin, but it is likely they are post-medieval field boundaries. However one of these linears coincides with the line of the parish boundary and is described under NHER 66200.
This ring ditch was previously recorded under NHER 36348.

July 2022. Aerial imagery interpretation.
This ring ditch is also clearly visible on 2006 Google Earth aerial photography (S3). It would have most likely related to a former Bronze Age barrow.
This ring ditch is one of a small group (NHER 36348) arranged north-south on ground to the east of a watercourse and is the northernmost of the group. Other ring ditches in this area include NHER 66200 (first recorded alongside this ring ditch in 2001), NHER 66201, NHER 64386, and less convincingly NHER 66202. 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.
