Monument record MBC47769 - RING DITCH CROPMARK, FIELDS FARM

A ring ditch of probable Bronze Age date is visible on historic aerial photographs as cropmarks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located in a field corner about 540 metres WNW of Fields Farm and centred at SP 80618 17398, a circular ditch up to 3.5 metres wide encloses an internal area of about 20 metres. Aerial photographs taken in 1948 show the location of the features to be part of a block of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation that has been plough levelled subsequently and so pre-dates it. On aerial photographs taken in 2023, the features are not visible (1-3).

Cropmark of a single ring ditch of uncertain date visible on aerial photographs at SP 8061 1740. The ring ditch is surrounded by the cropmark remains of levelled medieval ridge and furrow and sits at the corner of a large rectangular enclosure of uncertain date also visible as a cropmark (4).
