Monument record TR 36 NW 38 - Ring ditch and enclosure cropmarks, near Monkon Road Farm
Summary
In 1936 a ring ditch cropmark was excavated at this site by Major Cotton-Powell. Notes taken at the time and a plan in the Powell-Cotton Museum described two hearths within this feature, as well as a Bronze Age pot and fragments of another. The identification of this pot is uncertain and it may in fact be a 1st century Roman bowl on exhibition in the Cotton-Powell Museum. During subsequent excavations in 1939 at the site a 2/3rd century urn was reportedly found. The precise location of this monument is uncertain, but aerial photographs of the area have identified cropmarks of a number of ring ditches and enclosures. There are no visible remains of these features today.
