Monument record 0776700000 - North of Turweston

Possible water meadows visible as interconnecting networks of banks and ditches across fields adjacent to the river. May be post-medieval or modern in date. Not marked on historic OS maps. Some areas are much less convincing than other possible water meadows in nearby fields to the south-west. May be natural drainage. (1)

A probable post-medieval water meadow is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located along both banks of the River Great Ouse between Turweston and Whitfield and centred at SP 60188 38500, a series of linear and curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches running parallel with and perpendicular to the river for a distance of over 1,200 metres are probably the fragmentary remains of an extensive water management system (2-3).
