Details Ring ditch. A substantial ditch, possibly a henge, showing as a cropmark. When site visited by RCAHMS it was clearly visible in a field of kale, which grew 0.30 m higher over the ditch than to either side of it. The ditch measured 2.3 m in width, enclosing an oval area 16.4 m east-west by 15.5 m north-south. There was a break in the ditch on the east-southeast, and in the centre of the site the crop stood slightly higher across an area measuring 10.7 m in diameter, suggesting a slightly dished interior (RCM 1994).
