Full Description
A ring ditch approximately 21m in diameter is visible as a cropmark in the field to the south of Buckanay Farm. (S1) (S2)
The size of the ring ditch and its close proximity to two other ring ditches (ADT 026, 027) may suggest that it is the remains of a Bronze Age burial mound. (S3)
