Full Description
Parallel banks are visible as earthworks on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs [1]. The banks run for 110m aligned roughly E-W and appear to demark a slight stream. They also continue the alignment of flood banking, of probable medieval or post-medieval date, recorded on early Ordnance Survey maps [2]. It is probable that they represent a contemporary, but unmapped, element of this scheme. Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that these features have been levelled [3].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [4].
