What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a NW-SE spur. Archaeological monitoring (03E1300) identified numerous features in this area including this ring-ditch which was fully excavated (03E1781). This is a circular ring-ditch (int. diam. 15m; ext. diam. 16.1m) defined by a continuous narrow fosse, and a second subrectangular ring-ditch (ME044—044004-) is c. 5m to the N. The remains of a single cremation deposit was found in the fosse of this ring-ditch, but no artefacts were recovered. The ring-ditch was cut by a drain from the field system (ME044-066006-). The burial ground (ME044-044003-) is c. 80m to the NW. (Wallace 2003, 2006b)
