Monument record 2923/0/1 - Park Boundary

Boundary of Collyweston Park

{2} The western boundary is the River Welland, whilst most of the southern boundary is marked by a low bank surmounted by the remains of a largely rebuilt dry-stone wall (SK98600252-SK99350230). No definite evidence of the eastern boundary can be traced, except at its north end (SK99150324-SK99120358), south of Collyweston Bridge, where another low bank, on the east side of a wide drainage channel, has the footings and rubble of a former dry-stone wall on it. Within the park are also the extensive remains of ridge and furrow, which presumably pre-date it. Map showing possible boundary Fig.47.
