Description
Plan Form - CIRCULAR
SINGLE CIRCLE (PLOTTED) (B1).
POSSIBLE RING DITCH VISIBLE ON A/P'S. IT IS, HOWEVER, A SMALL CIRCLE ON GRASSLAND; OTHER SIMILAR MARKS SHOW ON PHOTOS. PERHAPS A FAIRY RING. NOT PLOTTED (B2).
RCHME REPORT (B3).
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 (B4).
