Description
The English Heritage Survey of Stowe undertaken in 2001 notes that the northern boundary of the Deer Park is marked by a park pale earthwork. The best preserved stretch lies to the west of Dadford Close where the ditch is 3m wide and up to 2m deep. The ditch gets shallower in the north and has a small bank on the northern side. The boundary runs as far a Haymanger Pond and then begins north of the site of the kennels at SP67093898 and continues ot the southern end of the Roothouse River at SP67573911. Here the park pale takes the form of a slight ditch 2m wide and 0,3m deep with an intermittant bank on the south side. The survey also notes that it cuts through broad ridge and furrow west of Dadford Close (1)
