Full Description
Circular enclosures, linear features. (1)
Ring ditch, thought to be a barrow, excavated 1975 in advance of development. Situated on a slight knoll on the flood plain terrace, it survived only as a cropmark. The circle is 25.0m in diamter, the flat bottomed ditch 2.0m wide and 70cm deep. 12 sections were made. In the infill, there were layers of iron panning and traces of iron stain in the deposits of natural silts. The only finds were 4 flint waste flakes, and a small fragment of handmade pottery, possibly a fragment of an early BA collared urn or food vessel. No burials were found (destoyed by ploughing ?) Looks like a BA barrow. (2)
Morph: 199.19.1 barrow, 199.20.1 enclosure, 199.21.1 trackway. (3)
See L8433 for adjacent cropmark.
