Full Description
On highest point of wood.
Ditch. V-shaped, overgrown and exact limits not ascertained. Not a natural feature or watercourse. Curving.
[1] believes it to be part of an ancient fortification, but it has no bank and there is no other evidence. Probably some sort of wood or park boundary or feature.
There are oaks here many centuries old.
For the other 'fortifications', see NHER 18087 - hollow way.
Remainder are glacial formations.
E. Rose (NAU), 30 April 1982.
