Description

An earthwork bank of uncertain date and function is visible on remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located on Rammamere Heath and centred at SP 92237 30106, a linear earthwork bank up to 17 metres wide extends W-E for 112 metres. It is unclear whether this is a natural feature. It is also possible that the earthwork is a medieval pillow mound (1).
