Summary
A possible Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen as a cropmark on aerial photographs.
This cropmark is particularly faint and if isolated on balance would be thought to be geological in origin. However, it is located only 200m to the south of a group of four far more convincing ring ditches and therefore it has tentatively been included in this grouping of probable Bronze Age barrows (NHER 36348). A further area to the south extremely tentatively identified as a possible ring ditch (NHER 11679) is now believed to be of natural origin.
