Full Description
The faint cropmark of a ring ditch can be seen on English Heritage Reconnaissance aerial photographs at TL 787500. This Bronze Age or Iron Age ring ditch, which may represent a barrow or a roundhouse, has a maximum diameter of 15m and is situated within an irregular enclosure (NRHE 1585707). The site is placed 200m south of a larger enclosure (NRHE 1585706) and 600m northwest of an enclosure (NRHE 1585687) with three internal ring ditches (NRHE 1585688, 1585689, 1585692) all of which were visible as cropmarks. The ring ditch’s western apex abuts another cropmark of a more recent field boundary.
