The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the north of Chapelfield Farm (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 3638 2458.
The ring ditch is quite large, 36m in diameter (external) and a slight causeway may exist to the north. The ditch is relatively broad, particularly on the eastern side, where it is up to 4.5m across. A small semi-circular ditch is visible within the ring and this may be a contemporary feature.
Another possible ring ditch is located approximately 380m to the southeast (NHER 49301). Although it is likely that both of these circular features represent the remains of Bronze Age barrows. It is possible that this site, with its large size, broad ditch and causeway could be the remains of a medieval to post medieval date post mill. A number of medieval and post medieval finds have been found in this area, see NHER 33141 and 45396 for example.
