Full Description
Large ring ditch/circular enclosure, circa 80m diameter, cut by the railway line (S1-3)(R1).
Detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over 9 hectares of an 11.7 hectare site. The northern part of the survey has defined the location of part of a large ring ditch previously identified from cropmarks. The diameter of the feature is estimated at c. 90m, suggesting a circular enclosure rather than the ring ditch of a funerary monument (S4).
