Cove Coppice submitted by TheWhiteRider : Cove Coppice. Nothing really to see here but a ploughed field. The site of Stevenshill Hilfort can be seen as the highest group of trees on the horizon, just right of center. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Archsearch reports a line of four ring ditches running W-E at this location and suggests the site as a possible Bronze Age barrow cemetary. The site, and the adjoining fields, have all been recently ploughed and nothing at all was visible.
