NHER 10452 (Monument record) - Medieval to post medieval earthworks near Langhale House

Linear earthworks near Langhale House.
The earthworks were once thought to be part of the deserted medieval village of Langhale. However, it is more likely that they are field boundaries relating to the pre-parkland landscape.
See HER Record Card (S1), NCM Record Card (S2), and HER Recording Form (S3) for further information.
