A cropmark of a ring ditch of probable Bronze Age date is visible on aerial photographs (S1). Other cropmarks previously recorded under this number are now recorded separately as NHER 49514. The central grid reference for the ring ditch cropmark has been amended to TG 3235 0164. The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 25m. It is likely that it is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow.
