This monument was identified during monitoring (Licence no. 03E1362ext) in advance of development. It consists of two intercutting circular enclosures, the larger of which (34m diam.) has a ditch 1.6m in width and from which a decorated loop-headed pin and a zoomorphic penannular brooch were recovered. Centrally placed within the smaller enclosure (24m diam.) were extended burials orientated E-W. Charcoal from the smaller enclosure ditch gave a calibrated date of AD 533–648 while charcoal from the larger enclosure ditch gave a calibrated date of AD 567–658 (Moriarity 2005). The monument is preserved within the open space of Holywell housing estate. Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
