Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Archaeologically excavated (Licence No. 02E0703) as 'Site 14 Milltown North'. Two circular, closely associated ring-ditches; the larger (designated WI025-052----) (int. diam. 7.4m; ext. diam. 10.5m) was defined by a U-shaped ditch (Wth 1.25m). The interior contained two urn burials and a possible cremation pit. The second, much smaller ring-ditch (designated WI025-052001-) lay c.8m to the NE (int. diam 2.5m; ext. diam. 3.25m) and was also defined by a U-shaped fosse (Wth 0.3m) and had an outer ring of post-holes. An entrance at the N was defined by two post holes. An arc of five small pits lay c.24m to the E and produced some struck flint and a fragment of Grooved Ware (Bennett 2004, 537).
