Cropmarks of possible Neolithic-Bronze Age henge, ring ditch and pits, Langford Waterworks (EHER 81948)

Cropmarks of two probably prehistoric ring ditches and possible pits. The ring ditch to the west measures approximately 15m in diameter and that to the east is larger, measuring approximately 26m in diameter. A series of marks have been plotted within the larger ring ditch and to its south-west, which could represent pits. It is possible the larger ring ditch could be a Neolithic or Bronze Age henge.

They date from the Neolithic or Bronze Ages and may have a ritual function. <2> NRHE data transfer: Cropmarks, ring ditch and trackways, linear features/enclosure. <3> <4> <5> October 1976. Field visit. The cropmarks visible on the above air photographs represent a ring ditch centred TL 8279 0938 with an approximate diameter of 12.0m, together with old field boundaries and glacial marks. The sites are adjacent to RRX 1076 on river gravel at present under plough. Nothing is visible on the ground. <6>
