Full Description
2014: Geophysical survey identified three ring ditches interpreted as possible Bronze Age ring barrows. Further Bronze Age barrows have been identified to the southwest (EXG 067, EXG 068, EXG 069). A rectangular enclosure was also identified which could represent a Roman funerary enclosure. Activity at the east of the site represented by linear features and possible pit-like features might represent some settlement activity. (S1)
