A possible ring ditch, perhaps evidence of a barrow of Bronze Age date, is visible on aerial photographs of 1989 as a cropmark on the lower slopes south of Watery Lane, Raddon. The cropmark is on average just over 3 metres in width and encloses a roughly circular area up to circa 23 metres in diameter. There is no clear evidence of a levelled mound or other internal features and the ring ditch is incomplete. Further investigation by geophysical survey is recommended to clarify the survival and extent of the feature.
