Archaeology Notes

NN70SE 57 7515 0038

Aerial photography has revealed the cropmarks of what may possibly be a ring-ditch, which is situated on gently-sloping ground immediately to the N of the public road (B824). Roughly circular on plan, it measures about 11.5m in diameter over a ditch of uncertain width.

This ring-ditch is sited 180m to the SW of a pit-alignment (NN70SE 56) and 330m to the WSW of a stone alignment (NN70SE 3).

Visited by RCAHMS (SMF), 7 March 1991.
