Monitoring at this site was undertaken in response to planning conditions. A spread of dark soil was uncovered, along with the remains of a circular slot-trench. Upon excavation the site proved to be a ring-ditch complex with the remains of at least five ring-ditches. A large amount of struck flint was recovered from the site, along with a decorated clay bead. Cremated bone was contained within the slot-trenches of the ring-ditches.
