Full Description
A walkover survey took place in brokes wood in 2014. Three low wide banks were observed up to 0.5m wide and less than 0.4m wide. They are possibly medieval but there is no definate dating. They are evidence of how the woodland or former grazing wood pasture of South Frith was managed. They could also be banks to former fields. (1)
