Full Description
An oval ring ditch probably a Bronze Age barrow seen as a cropmark on 2007 aerial photography. (SY 8297 9911).
With its unusual oval shape and darker ditches on the south west and south east sides it is not clear whether this cropmark is a barrow ditch or some other form of enclosure. It is however located on Deverel Down, an area with a high frequency of round barrows. <1>
