Monument record LVT 052 - Possible Bronze-Age round barrow or large Prehistoric site.

A possible Bronze Age round barrow or large Prehistoric hut circle is visible as the cropmark of a ring ditch on aerial photographs, centred on TM 23734025 in fields to the north-west of Levington Park research station, Levington. The ring ditch encloses an area approximately 16.5m in diameter and has no obvious entrances. It is possible that the ditch represents the eavesdrip from a very large Prehistoric hut circle but it is more likely that it is the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, particularly as the area has a large concentration of barrows of Bronze Age date and the feature appears to be cut by possibly two different phases of later field boundaries. (S1) (S2) (S3) The ring ditch is also recorded in LVT 013. See LVT 051 for the other possible barrow, LVT 013 for the possible remains of Later Prehistoric or Roman field systems and LVT 054 for the Post Medieval field system. (S4)
