What is recorded here
Two parallel ditches extend fifty metres southwesterly from a large trivallate ringfort near the Dinin River, though they have vanished from ground level and survive only as faint cropmarks in old aerial photographs. The southern ditch may reach eighty metres, suggesting a boundary or gateway rather than a random scar. Whatever purpose it served, the earth has reclaimed it, leaving behind a ghost line visible only when crops grow unevenly above buried voids.
On the SE edge of a terrace above flood plain c. 170m N of the Dinin River, with land rising gently to the N and NW, in pasture. Two parallel ditches (Wth apart c. 20m), extending for c. 50m southwesterly from the SSE edge of a large trivallate ringfort (KK014-010001-), are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (CUCAP BOD023 and BOD024, 10 July 1973). The southernmost ditch appears to extend further for a total length of c. 80m. It is not visible at ground level.
