What is recorded here
Situated in a low-lying landscape with a small NW-SE canalised stream or drain c. 200m to the NE. A concentration of eight ring-ditches, probably representing barrows, was recorded in July 2018 using a drone-mounted camera. They are in a limited area of about 10 acres (c. 4 ha) but are fairly dispersed, being c. 20-50m from their nearest neighbour. This is a large circular area (int. diam. c. 20m) defined by a continuous fosse feature, which is slightly pinched at S where there may be an entrance.
