Full Description
February 1998. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey (Compartment 1053).
Two banks probably forming the boundary of The Long Plantation shown on the 6 inch 1st edition ordnance survey map (1879-1886). One bank is aligned west to east 2m in width and 0.4m high with a ditch 1.5m in width and 0.2m deep. The second bank is aligned north to south and is 10m in width and 0.7m high.
See report (S1) for further details.

Earthwork banks visible on visualised lidar data (S2) are probably the same as those described above. As suggested, these are probably banks defining the boundary around and within Long Plantation, as shown on historical Ordnance Survey maps, such as the 1st edition 6 inch (S3). As they are depicted on historical maps, they have not been mapped by the project.
