Two strong positive responses recorded during a magnetometer survey in 2014 at Bake Rings. The anomalies are circular and appear to have internal features. The western anomaly measures c.12m in diameter and the eastern anomaly c.16m. They probably represent the remains of round houses and the westernmost of these appears to display a southeast facing entrance (1).
