The National Monuments Service's description
One of two similar ring-ditches excavated (Licence no. 04E0680) in advance of development. Located 17m south of ring-ditch (DU005-138001-) this ring-ditch (6m diam.) contained four cremation burial deposits. Fourteen small annular blue glass beads and an unidentified iron object were found with one cremation and three small blue glass beads with another. An amber toggle bead was found in the upper layers of the ditch. Charcoal from a cremation yielded a calibrated radiocarbon date of 360-90 BC (Carroll et al. 2008, 126).
