Full Description

Ring ditch. <1> <2>

Cropmarks: at least 4 ring ditches, one a double ring (inner `ring' is really subrectangular/oval in shape) with central `pit'. Two are contained (fortuitously?) in a rectangular enclosure; a third is in the north-east corner of the more northern of 2 conjoined rectangular enclosures. A ?further enclosure in the fields to the SE (NGR TL 93853295) may be remnants of recently removed field boundaries. However it does seem to have an entrance in its northern side. <1> - <4> AP refs. <5> - <12>
Aerial photograph taken 30.6.1993 shows an additional ring ditch at TL936335.<13>
