Monument record 3721/6/1 - Medieval, Post Medieval or Modern Earthworks, east of Grove Farm

Earthworks including a small hollow way extending down the hillside and to the north a series of quarry pits, possible building foundations and pond. May not be of any antiquity and may be the remains of a local lime burning industry.

{1} To the east of Grove Farm at SP88506487, is a series of earthworks which include a small hollow way, extending from the modern street down the hillside. This is edged by the footings of a limestone wall. To the north-east of it is a pond and a number of quarry pits, associated with a group of rectangular limestone wall footings, now grassed over and presumably the remains of former buildings. The remains here do not appear to be of any great antiquity and may be those of a small lime-burning industry.
