Full Description
Double line and irregular enclosure, plus other marks, 1 mile NE of Ratcliffe close to NE-SW pylon line (soilmarks). (1)
The enclosure is located on a saddle between the much higher ground of Wright's Hill to the N and a small local elevation on its immediate S side. The linear mark appears to be angled across the S face of the elevation. The field is now under permanent grass and no surface indications of the marks are visible. Possibly of the IA/Ro period. (2)
