The ring ditch and settlement site north of Eastrea is an archaeological monument consisting of cropmark evidence of a prehistoric circular enclosure and associated settlement features located in Cambridgeshire. The ring ditch itself represents a defensive or demarcating structure of Iron Age or Bronze Age date, though precise chronological attribution requires further archaeological investigation. The site is identifiable through aerial photography and geophysical survey as a concentration of archaeological features indicative of domestic occupation and settlement organisation typical of later prehistoric communities in the East Anglian fenland region. The monument contributes to the archaeological understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in the Cambridgeshire landscape.
