Description
A semi-circular arc of ditch of uncertain date and function is visible on historic aerial photographs as earthwork and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located in a field immediately adjacent Spring Grove Farm and centred at SP 80881 29355, an arc of ditch about 3 metres wide extends from NW to SW about 48 metres. Visible in a pasture field on aerial photographs taken in 1944, by 1946 the field had been put into arable cultivation and the ring ditch is no longer visible. However, the ditch is once again just visible on aerial photographs taken in 2003. On aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data, the features are not visible (1-5).
