Air photography (imagery cited in MS/712/19) has recorded the cropmark of a ring-ditch on a very gentle slope at an altitude of 35m OD.
NMRS, MS/712/17 and MS/712/19.
Aerial Photographic Interpretation (16 December 2013)
A ring ditch, possibly a henge, and what may be a pit circle have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1976, 1981, 1982, 1992; CUCAP 1981; AAS 1978, 1982) some 460m NE of Berryley. The possible henge measures about 17m in diameter within a ditch 1m wide which is interrupted by an entrance on the SE. A large pit at the centre of the henge and at least four indistinct pits may represent the remains of a pit or timber circle. A scatter of pits extends across the adjacent area.
