Full Description
The earthwork remains of linear boundaries of uncertain date, possibly part of a later prehistoric or medieval field system centred at TQ 7315 7274. The longest element these linear banks measures 530m and coincides with the line of the parish boundary between the parishes of Higham and Cliff &Cliffe Woods and the boundary between Higham and Frindsbury. An inverted L-shaped bank forms a rectilenear enclosure with the parish boundary at TQ 7320 7268 close to the point where the three parish boundaries meet. A third isolated length of bank/boundary was seen 160m to the west running parallel to the parish boundary.
These linear features were mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project.(1)
