Summary
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably relating to a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs. The ring ditch is circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 17m. A cropmark of an elongated oval pit, probably a grave measuring nearly 3m in length by 1m wide, is present in the centre of the ring ditch. The ring ditch is situated on the edge of a small valley at 15m OD. Two more ring ditch cropmarks are located 230m and 820m further to the east along the valley (NHER 16734-5).

A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably relating to a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). The grid reference for this cropmark has been amended from TG 3211 1399 to TG 3212 1400. The ring ditch is circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 17m. It is likely that it is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. A cropmark of an elongated oval pit, probably a grave measuring nearly 3m in length by 1m wide, is present in the centre of the ring ditch. The ring ditch is situated on the edge of a small valley at 15m OD. Two more ring ditch cropmarks are located 230m and 820m further to the east along the valley (NHER 16734-5).
