Full Description

A possible prehistoric ring ditch, 18m in diameter, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. The site is in close proximity to a Bronze Age barrow cemetery (MDO20649-51 & MDO511) to the south and therefore it may be the remains of a plough-leveled barrow, although the possiblity of it being a modern agricultural mark cannot be ruled out either. {1}
