What may be a ring of elongated pits has been revealed by cropmarks immediately W of the cursus monument NX97NW 23 opposite the more northerly of the two breaks in the ditch forming this side. The ring measures about 15m in diameter, but it is not clear whether it is a pit-circle or the remains of a heavily degraded ring-ditch.
