Full Description
A large ring ditch of ca 63m which is visible only on Google Earth images (April 21 2007). The ditch is truncated by a road running eastwards from Ripple Court farm (monument TR 34 NW 267) which is ca 400m east of the centre of the ditch.
The ditch encloses a further smaller ditch which is of ca 18m diameter. This smaller ditch is visible on earlier aerial photographs.
The 1990 aerial photo shows an entrance to the north-east, suggesting this could be a hut circle within a circular enclosure.
