A possible ring ditch of potential prehistoric date is visible as a cropmark ditch on oblique aerial photographs of 1978, to the southeast of Chettiscombe. The partial, circular ring ditch measures approximately 11m in diameter and is located on gentle southeast facing slope. The southern extent of the ring ditch is fairly well-defined, although is less so within the northern extent. Other cropmark features originally included within this record were either discounted or did not appear to represent part of an associated feature and were recorded separately. The 1977? aerial photographic source of this record could not be located within the HER, although it likely represents the same source as that used for this survey. The ring ditch was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
