Type and Period
Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
A double ditched trackway, aligned north-east/south-west, and a large ring-ditch with a central pit were noted on an NMB ariel photograph at this location. The pit feature suggests the ring-ditch represents a ploughed-out barrow, probably of Bronze Age date, with a central burial. <1> <2>
Cropmarks of ring-ditches, enclosures, large extraction pits and field boundaries were recorded on aerial photographs in 2019. <3> <4>
