Full Description
{1} Ditches (SP 636420-638415), perhaps part of a former watermill, lie immediately SW of Kingshill Farm, on the E side of a small SE-flowing stream, on glacial deposits at 122 m. above OD. Two almost parallel ditches 7 m. wide and up to 1.5 m. deep run from a sharp bend on the stream NW of the farm, in a curve parallel to the stream for a distance of 300 m. to a point just S of the farm. The lower ditch then turns W and returns to the stream; the other continues SE for a further 100 m. before fading out. (Air photographs in NMR).
