Monument record MDO43774 - Ring ditch, Castleton

Circular cropmarks visible on aerial photographs, interpreted as a ring-ditch. Possibly the remains of a round barrow. The feature is visible as a semi- circular cropmark on HEA aerial photographs taken in 2013. It has been cut by the later road, the southern half potentially removed or truncated by the road's construction.
