- LYNCHET (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)
Description
English Heritage's survey of Stowe undertaken in 2001 notes a fairly well-defined 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 in this area. A small linear mound at SP6702 3830 seems to be modern disturbance (3).
