A ring ditch, visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), is probably the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. It is one of six ring ditches clustered at this location; these have been recorded collectively as the site of a probable Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 66754).
The cropmark of a post medieval field boundary can also be seen cutting across the ring ditch. This has not been mapped by the project as it is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition six-inch map (S2).
This ring ditch may have previously been recorded as part of NHER 12786, but there is not enough detail in the original record to be certain.
