Iron Age Ring Ditch at Nine Wells
Like many prehistoric features, this one was discovered from an aerial photograph.
"A cryptic ring-ditch cropmark first identified by aerial photography was investigated using fieldwalking, flint
analyses, borehole transects, Ground Penetrating Radar, mollusc analyses and radiocarbon dating. More than 130
boreholes arranged in ten transects were used to investigate the feature in lieu of excavation. Evidence from radio-
carbon dating and pottery fragments place the ring-ditch in the Iron Age. The site warrants wider recognition and
further investigation".
