- DRAINAGE DITCH (Medieval to Post-Medieval - 1066 AD to 1798 AD)
Description
Ditches of post medieval date are visible on historic aerial photographs earthworks and were mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located approximately 500m north of Green End, Granborough, and centred at SP 77139 25669. A house built over north part of ditches (and ridge and furrow earthworks) after 2007 has removed the eastern end of a ditch and land use changed to arable (from pasture) by 2017 so all earthworks have been levelled and lidar visualisation shows a flat field (2017-2019 composite shows the earthworks still present).
