Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

Map

Type and Period (3)

Full Description

{1} Aerial photos NCCAP:SP6267/15+16+18-20+23+38+39.

{2} A group of earthworks the purpose of which is unclear, though they may be the remains of a millpond. A long depression, bounded by scarps up to 1.5m high, is terminated at the south west end by a broad bank broken at its south west corner, possibly a dam. To the north west are large irregular depressions which appear to have been at least partly filled with water at some time. The 1771 map shows nothing at this point.
