Three ring ditches aligned in a line on a north-north-east to south-south-west alignment. The cropmarks appear evenly spaced. It is possible that these represent three round barrows forming a small barrow cemetery. However, they could be later features, perhaps formed by the placement of animal feeders. These cropmarks seem to overlie the features of CHER 7967. These may be natural features, however, if they are medieval, it is unlikely that they represent the remains of round barrows.
