NHER 54940 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible Bronze Age barrows or Iron Age hut circles

2009. Aerial photograph interpretation.
Three circular features, possibly Bronze Age barrows, are visible on RAF 1946 aerial photographs. There is also a possible square enclosure and field boundaries of unknown date within this area.

Two circular features, which were suggested to be Bronze Age barrows, but seem more likely to be earthworks of possible Iron Age hut circles, are visible on aerial photographs (S2-S4).
The site is centred on TL 9889 8797, and comprises two circular features which are visible as earthwork ditches on the aerial photographs.
The largest of the two is the northernmost ring ditch, which measures 17.9m in internal diameter and 22m externally. It appears to have an entrance or break on its north-west side, but this may just be due to uneven ground, as the area is covered in natural undulations and it is difficult to be certain of some of the features.
The smaller ring ditch, to the south, measures 11m in internal diameter and 13m externally. It is possible that it has a break or opening to the south-east.
Whilst it is possible that these features could represent the ring ditches for possible Bronze Age burial mounds, there is no evidence of any mound features within them, and since they survive as earthworks on the aerial photographs it seems that a more plausible explanation for them is as hut circles or possible roundhouses, perhaps of a comparable period to those recorded on Micklemoor Hill (NHER 6019).
Two more convincing possible round barrows were also recorded 300m to the east (NHER 57426 and 57427).
