Full Description
{1} Cropmark of probable henge site; circular ditched enclosure with opposing entrances on east and west sides; slight traces of internal circular feature on west side.
{3} [Extract from SM description] The henge is roughly circular in plan with an overall diameter of 42m. The interior is enclosed by a ditch, approximately 4m wide. The ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs which show that the cut and fill will survive as buried features below the present ploughsoil. In the northern part of the henge, a linear feature which runs parallel with the ditch has also been identified from aerial photographs and this may represent the buried remains of an inner ditch. There are further intermittent traces of this feature in the south western and south eastern parts of the site. A gap in the ditch probably represents a causeway across the south eastern section.
