Full Description
August 2001. Air photo interpretation.
Cropmarks of two ring ditches are visible in aerial photographs (S1).
These are now recorded separately under NHER 66200 and NHER 66203.
H. Clare (NLA), 24 August 2001. Amended H. Hamilton (HES), 01 July 2022.
July 2022. Aerial Imagery Interpretation.
Three further cropmark ring ditches have been identified in aerial photography (S2) (S3) to the south of those recorded in 2001.
NHER 64386 is the most definite. The interpretation of NHER 66201 is somewhat more tentative, but it mimics the form of NHER 66200. The identification of the southernmost ring ditch, NHER 66202 is extremely tentative.
Together with the other ring ditches in this area, they have been interpreted as comprising a probable Bronze Age barrow cemetery. The cemetery has a roughly linear north-south alignment to the east of a watercourse and stretches for a length of approximately 760m.
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.
