What is recorded here

First identified from an examination of aerial photography (Google Earth Image date 12/07/2013) by Tom Condit, the ring-ditch consists of a bivallate circular cropmark with the inner enclosure (diam. 18m N-S) more clearly demarcated that the outer one (diam. 32m N-S). The monument is one of a group of three (DU011-105---- and DU011-161----) identified on S and SE facing slopes within a large field. The Broadmeadow river lies just to the south. Views are somewhat restricted to the N and E by adjacent hedgerows but are extensive to the S and W. DU011-161---- lies to the WSW with DU011-105---- to the NW.
