Notes about this historic site

1 Two parallel pit alignments that in places become continuous ditches, a third ditch set 40m to the east of the pit alignments and a diffusely defined circular feature, which may be a degraded ring ditch, appear on aerial photographs. Area has been used for mineral extraction and has been landscaped. The linear features dissapear as they cross the northern field boundary but shorter lengths of pit alignments and ditches are evident 50m to the north and appear to be continuations of the longer features.
2 Part of this complex is a 250m long multiple ditched feature and pit alignment, described as Neolithic.
