Full description
June 2020. Air Photo Interpretation.
A probable Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1) (S2). The ring ditch would have most likely related to a former Bronze Age barrow. The ring ditch is in close proximity to further probable Bronze Age ring ditches (NHER 36348) recorded to the north and south [1]. A cropmark ditch most likely relating to a post-medieval boundary mapped on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map (S3) can be seen immediately to the east of the ring ditch.
