A class II henge monument with ditch and bank much flattened by cultivation, photographed from the air by St Joseph, 1945-7. From the way in which the W ditch of the Roman camp (NY27SW 3) passes through the two entrances of the henge, it is apparent that the henge was in existence when the camp was laid out.
