Full Description
{1} Coppice A is a bank and ditch enclosure known as Shrubby Copse. It is a somewhat irregular rectangle in shape and is 450m north to south by 268m east to west. The ditch is situated outside of the bank and is c.2m wide x 0.5m deep. The bank is c.1.2m wide x 0.15m high. Coppice A is well-defined on the eastern boundary but parts of the western edge were inaccessible due to heavy undergrowth.
It was disturbed in places by later paths and drainage ditches, in particular the north-south path bisecting the enclosure. The eastern boundary is closely related to the boundary between the woodland and the Great Lawn, and is in places disturbed by the modern boundary fence and path.
