Full Description
The ring ditch had a visible maximum external diameter of 29.9m and maximum internal diameter of
17.01m. No contemporary internal/external features were identified. The double ring ditch potentially represented a prehistoric burial mound or barrow.
Prehistoric linear features, potentially representing field or boundary ditches, comprised a N-S aligned ditch 6617 (Tr66), three E-W aligned ditches 6712 (Tr 67), 6811 (Tr68) and 8506 (Tr85), and a NE-SW ditch 7615 (Tr76).These features appear to be constrained to the eastern part of the PDA, on the upper west facing valley slope overlooking the double ring ditch. A linear feature 7810 (Tr78), aligned WNW-ESE, was particularly broad, measuring 2.8m wide, and shallow, 0.2m deep, and might represent part of a sunken lane or trackway.
A single post-hole 7019 (Tr70) was tentatively dated to the later prehistoric period. The post-hole, which measured 0.82m long by 0.53m wide and 0.2m deep, contained three sherds of prehistoric pottery. (1)
