Full Description
{1} The northern boundary was probably the same as the present walled and hedged boundary of the later park, which follows the modern Geddington to Grafton Underwood road. Along this section (SP89948216 to SP91148133) a large but much spread bank, with traces of an inner ditch, survives in places.
{2} There is a fine internal ditch to the stone and brick park wall to the north, facing Geddington.
