The cropmarks of a probable Bronze Age ring ditch are seen on aerial photographs (S1-S3). The ring ditch most likely relates to the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. The ring ditch is conjoined to a second ring ditch to the east (NHER 65783). A pit feature can be seen approximately in the centre of the ring ditch. The pit feature may relate to a burial; however, it is also possible that the pit may relate to a dense area of geological cropmarks visible across the site. A third probable Bronze Age ring ditch (NHER 65781) is recorded in close proximity, approximately 20m to the north. The ring ditch may form part of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery (NHER 66789) along with the cropmarks of further probable Bronze Age ring ditches recorded in the vicinity.
This feature was previously recorded as part of NHER 21834
