Full description
6 July 1977. NAU Air Phototgraphs. Cropmarks. One ring ditch.
D.A.Edwards (NAU) 1 December 1980.
Originally noted 1974 by A.K.Gregory as a triple ring ditch (ie three rings in line north south, touching?). However Unit aerial photographs show only one very distinct ring ditch. There are several other markings like very faint rings in the field (cultivation or natural features) which may explain the anomaly.
E.Rose (NAU) 18 May 1981.
Possibly infilled pit in field of stubble.
A. J. Lawson (NAU) January 1976.
