Monument record MBC44001 - Site of former boundary of Whaddon Chase, Little Horwood

A short length of boundary bank of possible medieval date is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as extant buildings/earthworks/levelled earthworks/cropmarks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located approximately 700m north east of the Scheduled moat at Wood End, Little Horwood, and centred at SP 79611 31518. This length of boundary bank is visible between areas of ridge and furrow and also corresponds with a boundary for the southern side of Whaddon Chase, shown on the 1813 Ordnance Surveyors’ drawing for Winslow, where a wide ride between Blackthick Coppice and Norbury Coppice joins the boundary at the site of a building next to the road from Wood End, Little Horwood. Modern land use is as a very large arable field, amalgamated from many smaller fields shown on Epoch 1 mapping which has remove former boundaries and the road from Little Horwood to Whaddon Chase. The boundary is visible only as a slight earthwork on lidar visualisation. (1-3)
