Description
The cropmark of a broad, near circular, ditch with a narrow ditch concentrically within was revealed by aerial photography in 1975. Six pits forming a regular hexagon some 6.0m in diameter, is 40m to the east. Also ten post-pits form a circle some 10m in diameter, about 85m to the west. These features may possibly be 'ritual structures' of henge type.

Faint crop marks of a cluster of over forty dark marks were revealed by air reconnaissance in 1975. They averaged some 2.0m in length, were oriented east to west and closely resembled graves.
