Description
A sub-circular enclosure is visible as a cropmark on air photographs at Ferriers Farm, Bures Hamlet. About 26 metres in diameter, it features an entrance to the southeast. It has in the past been described as a possible henge, although the cropmark also resembles late Bronze Age circular enclosures such as the sites at Mucking and Springfield Lyons. This appears to have been confirmed in 1991 when the site was visited by an English Heritage fieldworker and staff of Essex County Council Archaeology Section.
