Full Description
{2} The remains on the east side of the park are less complete. Only a degraded bank, 1m high exists on the west side of the Nassington road, south-east of Park Lodge, for a distance of some 580m (TL06489380 to TL06769430). However, this shortage of remains is the result of the realignment of the Nassington Road in two places, probably in the C18th or C19th. A map of c.1716 shows the road in its earlier position and this must indicate the original park boundary. Either the old road or the park pale shows as a cropmark on air photos held by Monk’s Wood Research Station, Huntingdon.
