Monument record TR 34 SE 369 - Possible ring ditch and grave cuts, located in land next to Townsend Farm Road
Summary
Cutting into context (107) at the south side was a clearly apparent curvi-linear feature (105). A slot was excavated across this proving it to be 0.32m wide and 0.07m in depth. The estimated diameter of the feature is c.4.5m. Two possible grave cuts were present towards the centre, (113) and (115). These were not investigated, as they were not due to be affected by the current works. It is possible that this feature represents a small ring ditch surrounding a barrow covering a burial or burials. A common practice used in both the Bronze Age and Anglo-Saxon periods, however not exclusively.
