Description
English Heritage's survey of Stowe undertaken in 2001 notes a lynchet running N-S along the western edge of the Deer Park. At its southern end, the scarp turns to run W-E and another lynchet runs above it for some 50m. The scarp is cut by the 18th century park pale and seems to mark the edge of medieval cultivation. A small linear mound at SP6702 3830 seems to be modern disturbance (1).
