Monument record MBC48518 - Post medieval drainage ditches, Stone Bridge

Post medieval drainage ditches are visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthwork and were mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located in fields adjacent the River Thame E of Quarrendon House Farm and centred at SP 79644 15418, a system of interconnected parallel and perpendicular ditches up to 2 metres wide extends about 460 metres NNE-SSW from the S boundary of Quarrendon II deserted medieval village earthworks to Stone Bridge, where the ditch links to the river as a tail drain. On aerial photographs taken in 2023 and recent remote sensing data, the ditches remain mostly intact (1-4).
