Full Description

TR 35904712. Five ring ditches, north east of St Nicholas church, visible on aerial photograph. (1)

A section of gully with steep sides and a flat or dished base.. The fill produced thirty prehistoric struck flints and a small undiagnostic flint-tempered pot sherd. The general character of the gully and the finds recovered suggest that this is a prehistoric feature although its exact date is uncertain. It is possible that it formed some part of an outer work to the nearby undated crop-mark enclosure (TR 34 NE 59).(3)
