Summary
A possible Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen as a cropmark on aerial photographs. 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 (see NHER 36348) to the north and south.

Full description
July 2022. Air Photo Interpretation.
A possible Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen as a cropmark on 2006 aerial photographs (S1).
The cropmark is visible on the edge of a field boundary and is very faint. However, its size and position is very similar to a ring ditch recorded approximately 200m to the north (NHER 66200) and therefore it is possible that it is the remains of another ring ditch.
This ring ditch is one of a small group (NHER 36348) arranged north-south on ground to the east of a watercourse. Other ring ditches in this area include NHER 66203 and NHER 66200 to the north and NHER 64386, and less convincingly NHER 66202 to the south. An additional less-certain cropmark (NHER 66204) located approximately 400m to the north has not been included in this group. A further area to the south extremely tentatively identified as a possible ring ditch (NHER 11679) is now believed to be of natural origin.
