In 1936, the archaeologists
Stuart Piggott,
Cecily Piggott, and W. E. V. Young came upon what they suggested was a ruined Bronze Age
stone circle near to the village. This feature consisted of a circular area measuring 47 feet in diameter that was encircled by a shallow ditch. A single
sarsen stone was located on the southeast of the ditch, which the Piggotts suggested may have been the last surviving stone in a circle. A further three sarsen stones were located 90 feet to the south of the circle, but their relation to it was deemed "problematic" by the Piggotts. ==References==
