Description

The cropmarks of a ring ditch with possible entrance to the south-west, centred on TL 977 024, a rectangular enclosure, and three further ring ditches, one with a central pit, noted on EHER sheet. <1> <2> Ring ditches, enclosures, linear features and a stretch of double ditch shown on cropmark plot. A large curvilinear enclosure and a rectilinear enclosure 105m by 90m were also mapped for the NMP. <3> See aerial photographs <4> - <13>. Cropmarks of a trackway, ring ditches and field boundaries were recorded in 2019. A possible enclosure which was previously unrecorded was also visible. <14> NRHE data transfer: Ring ditch with possible entrance to south-west. <15> <4> October 1976. Field survey. The cropmarks visible on the air photographs appear to represent the site of a ring ditch centred approximately TL 97610229. Nothing visible on the ground. <16> Note: See also EHER 12183, EHER 14992, EHER 13435 and EHER 13449 for records of cropmarks which are immediately adjacent and probably contemporary with those recorded here. Further ring ditches are recorded to the north, see EHER 14992.
