More information : The following Prehistoric features were seen as cropmarks and have
been mapped from good quality air photographs:-
2 hengiform monuments, seen as 2 circular enclosures, diameter 45m
and 20m, each defined by 1 ditch, with 2 entrances. The enclosure
centred at TF 0848 0668 has a well defined central pit. The
enclosure centred at TF 0857 0672 has 4 randomly arranged pits within
it. A double ditched round barrow is centred at TF 0853 0669. A
round barrow with a central pit is centred at TF 0842 0666.
(Morph No. LI.777.39.1-7)
These features are in close proximity to a cursus and other related
features and they could all form part of some kind of 'ritual complex' made up of features that are not necessarily contemporary
(see TF 00 NE 11).
