Full Description
TQ 610657. Remains of an apparently medieval banked enclosure have been found in Nine Horse Wood. The enclosure measures 245m by at least 100m, with a central division. Two successive ploughing lynchets conceal the southern boundary and a large yew tree straddles the eastern boundary bank. There would appear to be a small building near the south-east corner and an entrance in the north west. The northern margin coincides with the parish boundary. (1)
