They sit between two rivers, the Nore and the Dinin, on a gently sloping terrace, and they leave absolutely no trace on the surface. No earthworks, no stones, no depressions. The only reason we know they exist at all is a single aerial photograph taken on 16 July 1971.

Ring-ditches are circular or near-circular ditched enclosures, most often interpreted as the ploughed-down remains of Bronze Age burial mounds, where the surrounding ditch survived in the soil as a crop mark long after the central mound itself was levelled. Crop marks appear when buried features affect moisture retention in the soil above them, causing the vegetation to grow at slightly different rates, differences that become readable from the air in dry summers but are invisible from the ground. The photograph in question, CUCAP BGG067, captured seven of these features clustered within a single field, spaced between roughly 20 and 120 metres apart. That density of monuments in one location suggests this terrace, positioned where the Nore and the Dinin converge about two kilometres to the south, held some significance across a long period of prehistoric use. The landscape around it is gently rolling pasture with wide views in most directions, which is precisely the kind of elevated, open ground that Bronze Age communities often chose for their burial and ceremonial sites.
