Full Description

Prehistoric ring ditch, 15m in diameter is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. The site is in close proximity to a Bronze Age barrow cemetery (MDO20652-7) and therefore it may be the remains of a plough-leveled barrow, although the possiblity of it being a round house associated with the surrounding field system (MDO20659) cannot be ruled out. {1}
