The ring ditch described above is visible faintly as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1). It is centred on TG 1808 0367 and measures approximately 31m in internal diameter, 33m in external diameter. It is only visible on one set of photographs, which were not easily rectified, therefore its location may not be exact. It is also possible that a small section of internal ditch is visible, although this may be related to underlying geology, which is also visible as cropmarks in the field.
E. Bales (NMP), 26 April 2011.
