Monument record MBC44895 - Medieval road boundary ditches, Point Copse.

Sections of boundary ditch of a medieval road are visible on historic aerial photograph as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located in fields west of Point Copse and centred at SP 66818 40535, two ditches up to 4 metres wide, one linear and one curvilinear and aligned NW-SW., converge for about 250 metres and then run parallel for a further 180 metres. Although mapped in open fields, the features match a road recorded on the 1814 Ordnance Surveyors Drawing that ran through the heavily medieval hunting forest of Whittlewood, which was still extant at that time, but much of which had been felled and cleared for agriculture by the 1st edition OS maps in the early 1880s. On aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data, the features are not visible (1-5).
