Monument record TR 26 NE 31 - Ring ditch cropmarks, trackway and pits, near Brooks End

Summary

Five ring ditch features have been identified as cropmarks from aerial photographs of an area to the south of Brooks End. Two of these features are c.30m in diameter and may possibly be large Bronze Age henges or barrows. There are also 3 smaller ring ditch features and the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England Aerial Photographs also show a scatter of pit features throughout the area. A curvilinear feature runs through the centre of the area and appears to be the remains of a trackway.
