Monument record TR 15 SE 154 - Hexagonal feature, either Roman or post-medieval, Bourne Park
Summary
A hexagonal ditch has long been visible as a crop mark with a dark area within of similar shape. It was previously assumed to be post-medieval in date, possibly a tree plantation, but excavations in 2005 and 2006 suggested it was pre-Anglo-Saxon in date, possibly dating to between 150 BC and AD 50.
