Full Description
{1} A tree avenue leading from the northern boundary of the survey area across to ‘The Earls’. Towards the south-western end the trees were planted on a slope. In the centre of the avenue lies a shallow ditch which may have formed a carriageway. The avenue measures at least 120m long and 14m wide. The trees are spaced at roughly 11m apart. On its northern edge is an avenue radiating north-westwards; a number of trees from this radiate have been felled.
