Earthwork, Stonefield Hill (Carrington).
The ditch of a circular earthwork, about 300 ft. in diameter, on the flat top of a slight ridge a quarter of a mile SE of Stonefield HIll farm and at a height of 550 ft. OD. A crop-mark of lighter tone, which encloses the dark crop-mark of the ditch on the NE half of the work, suggests the presence of an external bank, and there are vague indications of two opposed entrances to the NW and SE arcs respectively. The foregoing structural features, the presence of the nearby stream, and the name Stonefield Hill, which, if it refers to this site, might conceivably be derived from the setting of standing stones which once stood in the central area, suggest the work may be a henge monument.
