Description

(SP 80603415) A possible ring ditch or fungus ring discovered from APs 100.0m N of Whaddon Church. It measured c25.0m in diameter with no central mound. The site was bulldozed in 1968 and is now occupied by two bungalows (B1).
No AP obtained, but the cropmarks' location in the midst of Md and later occupation suggests this is not a ring ditch (2).
