Description
{1} A watching brief was carried out on the 1st phase of the construction of an all weather gallop. Slight evidence of a headland and ridge and furrow (?medieval) survived in one section of the gallop. A slight bank was noted where the gallop crossed the W. boundary of Preston Deer Park. There was no internal ditch, apart from a modern field ditch. The ditch of another modern field boundary was also noted.The only other remains consisted of modern (c. 1970) plastic field drains. No artefacts were recovered.
