Description
A post-medieval rectangular ditched enclosure is visible on historic aerial photographs as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located on a field boundary about 350 metres WNW of Blackland Farm and centred at SP 82254 25958, a ditch that varies between about 2.7 to 5.7 metres wide forms a rectangular ditched enclosure that encloses an area about 32 x 30.5 metres. Constructed on a block of medieval and/or post medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, this feature may be a pound or stock enclosure. On aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data, the feature is not visible and appears to have been plough-levelled (1-3).
