Full Description
PRN 70178
A possible ring ditch within an oval enclosure east of the triple linear ditch cropmarks (50348) was identified during a geophysical survey. The survey suggested that the features are earlier than the triple ditch because they may have been deliberately avoided by the triple ditch. The absence of associated finds and the relatively low magnetic readings of the features also lend weight to this theory.{1}{2}
