Full Description

TR 34904735. Two ring ditches, enclosures and possible trackway south of Ringwould Road visible on aerial photographs. (1)

The 2007 Google Earth image shows 5 circular ring ditches. They measure in diameter (from east to west): 16m, 14m, 11m, 12m, and 18m. There is one small oval enclosure measuring 14m x 12m, and several other linear and curvilinear features which may represent field systems. There appear to be other features in the northern half of this field but the change in geology masks the cropmarks. Not sure which of the features was previously identified as a trackway, though there is a faint hint of a double-ditched trackway running NNW-SSE to the SE of the ring ditches, which if projected north would just pass to the east of the easternmost ring ditch.
