Description

A water channel and drainage ditches of post medieval date are visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and levelled earthworks and were mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located approximately 750m south east of Lillingstone House, Lillingstone Dayrell with Luffield Abbey and centred at SP 71299 38966. The sinuous water channel may be a former course of the stream, which has moved since the Ordnance Survey Epoch 1 map was drawn. The drainage ditches are cut in to the floodplain of the stream but are not visible on lidar visualisations. (1-3)
