Cropmarks of at least eight ring ditches, near Hollywood Farm (EHER 3110)

Cropmarks comprising a group of eight small ring ditches, one larger ring ditch with a central pit, and a partly obscured large double ring ditch. The largest double-ditched feature has been interpreted as a possible Late Neolithic henge.

Cropmarks comprising a group of eight small ring ditches, one larger ring ditch with a central pit, and a partly obscured large double ring ditch. <1> - <18> NRHE data import (387903): A sub-circular enclosure is visible as a cropmark on air photographs. It measures circa 24 metres in diameter, and features a single entrance gap or causeway on its northeastern side. The southern terminal of this entrance appears to be marked by a large pit, although geological markings confuse the issue a little. A small circular mark appears at the centre of the enclosure. Harding and Lee <22> include this site in their gazetteer of henges. The sole reason for this appears to be the presence of the gap in the ditch circuit. See associated monument records for other ring ditches and enclosures originally recorded here. TM 15112379, TM 15092385, TM 15112385, TM 15082392 cropmarks of a ring ditch seen by Farrands. <23> TM 151238 A further two ring ditches visible this year bringing total of group to eight. Cropmarks were in a field of peas where erect green plants contrasted vividly with those in a seared and drooping condition. <24> NRHE data import (1233424): A ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on air photographs. A single, uninterrupted ditch circuit, it is circa 9 metres in diameter. <23> NRHE data import (1233430): At TM 1511 2385: A ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on air photographs. A single uninterrupted ditch circuit, it is circa 10 metres in diameter. <23> NRHE data import (1233432): At TM 1508 2392: A circular enclosure or ring ditch is visible as cropmarks on air photographs. The site comprises two concentric ditch circuits, though only the northern half of the site is visible. The remainder has either been destroyed or concealed by the construction of what appears to be a tree-lined avenue. Assuming a complete circuit did exist, the outer would be circa 40 metres in diameter, the inner circa 25 metres. <22> <23> NRHE data import (1233433): At TM 1510 2380: Two ring ditches are visible as cropmarks on air photographs. Apparently they were obsserved "in a field of peas where erect green plants contrasted vividly with those in a seared and drooping condition". <24> Further ring ditches and another section of the trackway are recorded separately immediately to the west.
