Abstract:		 The current phase of archaeological excavations recorded several "naturally" formed features such as tree hollows and animal burrows. The exception to these was a large Bronze Age ring ditches and associated pits. The large ring ditch surrounded and was covered by the remains of a mound forming a possible barrow. Rather unusually an entranceway through the ring ditch was formed by two clearly defined termini facing south-west. Within the confines of the ring ditch, a large pit was located along the north-western boundary, containing what appeared to be "feasting" deposits- large amounts of charcoal and burnt animal bone, flint debitage and pottery fragments.
