[Area TR 338692] Cropmarks (ring ditches & enclosures) (1) There is nothing to be seen on the ground which is under plough. An interesting feature of these photos is that the enclosures are apparently continuous between fields, although there is a difference in height of up to 1.0 m. in field surfaces. The dark circle at TR 3387 6911 is probably the site of a bomb crater.(2) TR 338692. Located to the nearest fifty metres. Cropmarks of Bronze Age barrows. Site no. 38. (3) TR 33836924. Adjoining system of rectilinear enclosures. Two ring ditches at TR 33976923, TR 33836924. Possible barrow site at TR 33886913. (1) (4) Crop marks of barrows are visible here. (5)
