2500bc-14/1300bc A henge comprising two nearly circular ditches with a bank between, and one identified entrance. There were deposits in the inner henge ditch of pottery of Beaker affinities, animal bones, charcoal and burnt stones. There were substantial pieces of burnt timber in the north west corner of the ditch. The internal area gave no evidence of contemporary features. Molluscan evidence suggests that the henge when in use was in a woodland environment.
