Monument record MBC47984 - Medieval and/or post medieval square ditched platform, Ladymead Farm

A medieval and/or post medieval square ditched platform is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located in a field about 295 metres SE of Ladymead Farm and centred at SP 76139 19743, a rectilinear earthwork platform is about 21 x 18.3 metres, around which is a ditch up to 3 metres wide. The ditched platform is set amongst blocks of medieval and/or post medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, which abut it on each side. The function is unclear and no buildings appear on any available historic maps, but may have been the location of a building or barn. On remote sensing data dated 2019, the earthworks remain visible (1-2).
