Please read our guidance about the use of Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Earthworks of a possible sinuous, linear triple-ditched system aligned broadly east to west are visible on remote sensing imagery. It is also possible that the earthworks are the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation, although there is no other evidence for these within the wood boundary.

Full Description
{1, 2} Earthworks of a triple ditch and bank earthwork aligned broadly east to west are clearly visible in Nobottle Wood for a distance of 250m. Degraded earthworks may survive either side. The rides through the woodland clearly truncate this feature. Other features of this type are generally dated to the prehistoric period.
