Earthworks. Landscape feature. This feature appears as a circular wood on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey (S2). I would guess that this is an ornamental feature associated with Langley Park (NHER 30467). This site appears as a circular tree clump on the 1816 and 1864 estate maps.
See plan of earthworks (overlay).

Earthworks of a post medieval plantation boundary are visible on aerial photographs (S3). These earthworks are centred on TG 3550 0045. A circular bank and ditch earthwork is present in Langley Park (NHER 30467). It is bisected equally by a modern boundary. Its location corresponds to a plantation in the park that is marked on an 1816 plan (S4) and the first edition 6 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map of the 1880s (S2).
