Summary

A ring ditch recorded here is probably an accidental duplicate of MDV37366. A pale cropmark in this approximate location visible on aerial photographs taken during 1976 is more likely to be a result of groundworks associated with road constrcution.

A ring ditch, recorded from aerial photographs taken in 1984, was not observed on the aerial photographs available for this survey. It seems likely that this monument is mislocated, as the photograph cited (“dap/ar 4(3/7/1984)”) actually shows MDV37366 to the south-west. A pale sub-circular cropmark was visible in this approximate location on aerial photographs taken during 1976 in what seems to be an area stripped of topsoil. However the shape does not convincingly reflect a circular feature as it has a pronounced point on the northern side, and this seems more likely to be a result of groundworks associated with road construction.
