Full Description

Cropmarks of ring ditches, a trackway and a field system, are visible in Google Earth images of 2013 to the northeast of Elmstone.

There are two ring ditches each c.18m across immediately adjacent to each other. The south-western one has a larger irregular ring ditch around it, apparently re-cutting the ditch of the other ring ditch. This ditch is c.30m across. To the northwest of both ring ditches there is a trackway curving from the west up to the northeast, visible for a length of c.120m, and 9m wide. The trackway is partly visible on aerial photos of 1990. Extending from the western boundary there is a ditch possibly forming part of a field system with an additional ditch at a right-angle to it further to the northwest.
