A small ring ditch of probable Bronze Age to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of 1992 as a cropmark on the south-east facing slopes to the south-west of Cutton Farm, Poltimore.
The cropmark was approximately 1 to 1.5 metres wide and enclosed an area approximately 14 metres in diameter. No internal features were identifiable. It is most likely that the cropmark had formed over the buried remains of an enclosure ditch of a barrow of Bronze Age date. This interpretation might be supported by a very slight mound visible in this location on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005.
Many of the aerial photographs consulted by the survey are copies of DAPs held by the Historic England Archive. In some cases these have been recorded as separate sources. This is because variations in the way the prints have been processed could result in images on which archaeological features are visible to a greater or lesser degree.
