At least 3 ring ditches visible as cropmarks in the Google Earth image of 2007.
3 ring ditches located near a barrow (TR 25 SE 44), which became the focus of a Saxon cemetery (TR 25 SE 110). The ring ditches are probably higher-status burials within the Saxon cemetery.
Two adjacent ring ditches are located 25m SW of the barrow. Both measure 8m in diameter. A further ring ditch 70m SE of the barrow measures 7m in diameter.
There is a possibililty of two further adjacent ring ditches roughly halfway between the three already mentioned, though the cropmark is unclear (located SE of the rectangular feature, which is presumed to be related to the electricity pylon).
