19 July 1994. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks visible are the inner ring of the concentric ring ditch, plus two linears of the rectilinear enclosures on S2.
An additional ring ditch may be situated to the east, straddling the field boundary. The majority of the feature is situated in grassland and therefore may be a fungal ring. However, the east arc appears to continue into the neighbouring arable crop.
S. Massey (NLA) 27 April 2001.
