Full Description
A ring ditch is showing as dark trace, with possible central pit. On a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1976 at least three ring ditches are visible, one with a possible thin trace of a larger enclosure around it. There is also a solid roughly circular crop mark which may indicate a hut stance. A watching brief was maintained by CFA in 2007 while test pits were dug during ground investigations in this area (see NJ05NE0060). Evidence of spreads of burning were recorded from two test pits in the area.
