Full Description
Cropmarks of a pit-defined cursus and pit-alignments recorded by the OS in 1971 and subsequently by CUCAP and the RCAHMS. Continued aerial reconnaissance has revealed at least four lines of pits running from west-southwest- east-northeast across the field to the northeast of Inchbare. The two best-defined lines are set about 25m apart and are visible for a distance of about 200m. The third, whose alignment diverges slightly towards the east-northeast, lies between 6m and 16m to the south, and the fourth lies a further 20m to the south. The two best defined lines are possibly a pit-defined cursus.
