Soilmarks of a slightly wedge-shaped elongated spread of chalk, seen on Paul Everson aerial photographs of 1980. There are some indications of internal features or possible pits, with the feature thought to possibly be the remains of a plough-levelled long barrow. {1} The feature has been scheduled as the buried remains of a Neolithic long barrow, recorded on aerial photographs as a soilmark. The feature is located 110m above sea level, below the summit of a plateau overlooking a tributary of the Great Eau, some 870m east-north-east of Ruckland House. The monument, of slightly wedge-shaped plan, has traces of internal features which are considered to represent the remains of pits and structures associated with mortuary activities. The soil mark represents the great mound with which these features were once covered. The monument is aligned north-east to south-west and measures approximately 60m by 28m. Chalk from the mound has been dispersed around the enclosure and is thought to cover the area of the ditch from which it was quarried. A second, similar monument situated in an adjacent field about 150m to the south is the subject of a separate scheduling (see MLI43386). For the full description and the legal address of this scheduled monument please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {2}{3} More recent analysis of the aerial photographic evidence for this area casts doubt on the long barrow interpretation, with an explanation of the soilmarks as being the remains of a former chalk pit of likely post-medieval date now thought much more likely. The chalk pit is visible as soilmarks on the aerial photographs, and as earthworks on a digital elevation model derived from 2m gridded height data. {4}
