Full Description
Cropmarks of a single ring ditch are visible on 1960s and 1980s aerial photographs within a larger area of cropmark features (recorded as MWX43014).
An incomplete circuit of the ring ditch is visible on 1980s RCHME oblique aerial photographs [1], with the full circuit showing on 1960s OS vertical aerial photographs [2].
The ring ditch is 26m in diameter and there are cropmarks of irregular pit and scoop-like features in its interior. It is unclear if these features are contemporary or related to the ring ditch.
This may represent the remains of a ploughed out round barrow of Bronze Age date.
A further ring ditch of similar size lies 480m to the east within a dense area of cropmarked features of multiple dates (MWX43062).
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [3].
