Full Description
{1} Medieval coppice earthwork bank. All the coppices marked on the 1825 map have substantial earthworks c3m wide and 1.5m high with a ditch 1.4m wide on the outside. They are well preserved except where slightly damaged by being used as modern riding boundaries (eg the west side of Rush Coppice). The relative chronology is clear where they are cut by new riding ditches of 1825-6.; Pound Riding (between Shrubby and Rawlesmere Coppices) just cuts the south-east of Rush Coppice, and the south-east end of the present riding through the north part of Rush Coppice cuts and angle of the coppice ditch.
