Archaeology Notes

NO65NW 38 6473 5885 and 6474 5886.

The ring-ditches, recorded through aerial reconnaissance, are situated to the N of the track leading to the sand and gravel pits, about 500m NE of Arrat's Mill. They both have a rectilinear appearance although the N one of the two (at NO 6474 5886) is more rounded and slightly smaller than the one to the S (at NO 6483 5885) which may have a slight gap to the NE. Both are less than 3m across and there are a few other small maculae in the field as well as an area of broad rig-and-furrow cultivation, aligned WSW-ENE.
