Misc. Earthwork in Northamptonshire
"A ring ditch of probable Early Bronze Age date at Stanwick. Excavated in 1992, the site was initially identified as a cropmark. A segmented ring ditch circa 10 metres in diameter comprised ten interconnecting ditch segments (or perhaps elongated pits). Two red deer antlers, both from the ditch segments, have been radiocarbon dated. The dates are 2032-1787 BC and 2028-1782 BC, both calibrated. The latter came from the bottom of the fill of one of the segments."
