Possible Bronze Age barrow cemetery and multi-period cropmarks, Clacton Road (EHER 3522)

Cropmarks of four Bronze Age ring ditches, and a trackway of uncertain date seen on air photographs.

Cropmarks centred on above grid reference. These include: an east-west ditched trackway with subsidiary tracks running off at approximate right angles. Part of a subdivided rectangular enclosure north of the trackway, linear features (mostly periglacial) southwest of Ford Farm, further linear features north and south of the main trackway. Ring ditch with central pit in field WSW of Ford Farm and four large and four small ring ditches to the north of the trackway. <1> - <22> AP <25> photo ref <26> It is likely that these features may comprise a Bronze Age barrow cemetery, and other enclosures and a mound recorded separately under EHER 3219 and EHER 47377 may also be part of the same funerary landscape.
