Description

Dimensions - Width 0080 Length 0160 m
SERIES OF BOUNDARY BAULKS WITHIN WOODLAND WHICH, TOGETHER WITH N. BOUNDARY OF WOOD, FORM SUB-RECTANGULAR AREA. BAULKS, 0.4M HIGH, OCCUR THROUGHOUT BLOOM & WARREN WOODS & ARE PROBABLY PLANTATION BOUNDARIES OF RELATIVELY MODERN CONSTRUCTION (B4).
THIS SITE WAS CONFUSED WITH 00:000 BY OS INVESTIGATOR (B3).

(SU 871 901). Rectangular Camp in thick woodland (B13).

The only suggestion of a "rectangular camp" in the area indicated is a series of boundary baulks within woodland, which, together with the present northern boundary of the wood form a sub-rectangular area, about 160.0m E-W by 80.0m N-S, at SU 8710 9020. The baulks, 0.4m average height, occur throughout Bloom and Warren Woods, and are probably plantation boundaries of relatively modern construction (B14).
