Full description
Ring ditch on RAF air photographs, see (S1).
Information from A. Lawson (NAU).
Site now destroyed, probably by chalk pit.
No trace in surrounding fields.

Air photographs checked by E. Rose (NAU) 19 July 1993.
The feature was in any case of very dubious archaeological origin - it looks more like a tractor turning circle.
