Full Description
At least 6 ring ditches visible as copmarks in aerial photos of 1990 and Google Earth image of 2007, to the west of Woodnesborough.
6 ring ditches measuring 20m, 19m, 28m, 29m, 21m, and 13m in diameter.
(Unknown source?)
The "lesser three" of these ring ditches (Monuments 2, 3 and 4) were excavated by Trench 9 of the annual CAT excavations at Ringlemere in 2007. The ring ditches remain undated.
During this excavation, the ring ditches, additional boundary ditches, anglo-saxon graves and a host of mesolithic and palaeolithic finds were unearthed, providing a large quantity of evidence for the prehistoric occupation of the site from the palaeolithic onwards.
