Cropmarks of a Bronze Age ring ditch and undated pits, south of Hill Farm (EHER 3095)

Cropmarks, comprising a ring ditch and pits are visible on aerial photographs. A series of pits may represent a small rectangular post-built structure. The ring ditch was partially excavated in 1968.

Cropmarks, comprising a ring ditch at TM 1396 2356 and pits. A series of regularly spaced pits at TM 141 235 may represent a small rectangular post-built structure. <1> - <12> NRHE data import: June 1959. Field observation. A circle of green barley was observed at this location by D.F. Grayston in June 1959 when working in this field. <13> August 1968. Excavation. D.F. Grayston returned to this field in June 1968 and noticed the circle of green barley again (the weather was once again hot and dry). The ring measured 18.3m (exactly 60ft) in diameter. The location of the green barley was marked on the headland and once the crop had been harvested, D.F. Grayston returned. He cut a section across the ditch at its northernmost point, observing the depth of the ditch to be 1.3m (4ft 3in) at its deepest. He encountered some pieces of charcoal at a depth of approximately 0.9m (3ft). A square measuring approximately 3.65m (12ft) by 3.65m (12ft) was excavated at the centre of the ring ditch but no finds or features were observed at this location. Although no datable finds were encountered, the ring ditch is thought to be Bronze Age. <13> The updated NMP mapping <9> includes linear features to the north and east of the ring ditch.
