Ring ditch cropmark E of St Patrick's Avenue is a prehistoric enclosure visible as a cropmark in the parish of Cookham, Berkshire. The monument consists of a circular or near-circular ditch that appears in aerial photographs and soil marks, forming part of a wider complex of ring ditches in the locality that likely dates to the Bronze Age. Such ring ditches typically represent the remains of domestic settlements, funerary monuments, or ritual enclosures characteristic of later prehistoric communities in southern England. The site's identification through cropmark archaeology demonstrates the survival of subsurface archaeological features that would otherwise remain invisible at ground level.
