It is roughly centred at SU 0688 1365, lying 230m west of Paul’s Copse, and 80m east of the field’s western edge. The cropmark of an east-west linear ditch can be seen cutting this feature, which may be a relatively modern post-medieval field boundary. Another larger ring ditch, NRHE 1615428, lies approximately 10m north-west. These may be the remains of Bronze Age round barrows. <1>
