Full Description

A concentric ring ditch, probably the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date, is visible as a cropmark to the west of Lodge Farm, Foxhall parish, centred on circa TM22854301. The outermost ring ditch is approximately 26 metres in diameter, and at least 1 further ring can be partly discerned. However, the interior of the ring ditch appears to be disturbed and is quite unclear, but a third central ring ditch may be visible (but has not been transcribed). (S1-S3)
