Full Description
{1} Cropmark of circular enclosure 50m in diameter; lies within the possible neolithic causewayed enclosure.
{4} The alleged henge may simply be accounted for by patterned ground resulting from frost wedging in periglacial times.
{6} A sub-annular cropmark interpreted as a later Neolithic/ early bronze Age henge monument. Geophysical survey also located this central sub-annuar feature.
