What is recorded here

Located in a large arable field, c.155m N of Ring-ditch (DU014-134----), cropmarks indicate the presence of the sub-surface remains of a ring-ditch. The ring-ditch, visible on Google imagery (accessed 2019), comprises a circular feature (ext. diam. c.12.5m) defined by a ditch (wth. c.1.5m). There are no indications of any gap across the ditch. Other ring-ditches upslope in the same field may indicate the presence of an extensive prehistoric landscape. Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 8 November 2021
