NHER 39063 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible Bronze Age ring ditch or Iron Age roundhouse

A possible ring ditch, perhaps the remnants of a small Bronze Age barrow or of a Bronze Age to Iron Age round house, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. Other ring ditches (NHER 12805 and 39064), which may also be of later prehistoric date, have been identified a few hundred metres to the north-west. The ring ditch is also situated close to areas of multi-phase field boundaries, identified to its north-east (NHER 39068) and north-west (NHER 39065 and 38933). Parts of these may date back to the Iron Age or Romano-British period. At the same time, the ring ditch is visible on only one set of aerial photographs. Numerous other cropmarks of modern or geological origin are visible in the surrounding area, some of which may be associated with its use as a golf course. The possibility that the ring ditch is non-archaeological in origin cannot therefore be ruled out.
