Description
Dimensions - Radius 0014 m
Plan Form - ANNULAR
DOUBLE RING DITCH SHOWN ON AP'S APPROX AT NGR. CONCENTRIC DITCHES, C27M & 16M RESPECTIVELY. (BI1) PL OTTED(BI2) RING DITCHES PLOTTED FROM AVAILIABLE AP 'S AT 1:2500 (NMR METHOD)(BI3)
A detailed gradiometer survey carried out by Wessex Archaeology successfully located numerous anomalies of archaeological interest. The most interesting of these are two concentric annular anomalies appearing to form part of a barrow cemetery with two ring ditches identified by the previous WA geophysical survey. Near the northeastern extent of the survey area a sub-annular anomaly some 12m in diameter is consistent with the response from a roundhouse (B20)
