Description
A possible trackway or drainage ditch of probable post medieval date is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as extant earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located south of Bishopstone, Stone with Bishopstone and Hartwell, and centred at SP 80339 10124. The trackway or drainage ditch is visible as linear earthwork across a field of ridge and furrow earthworks; an area of disturbed ground is visible approximately 80 from the northern end which appears to be attributable to an animal feed ring seen over many years on the same location. 1940s aerial photographs show a possible building, or remains of, and the Ordnance Survey Epoch 1 mapping shows the site of a small field barn and enclosure on the site. The trackway obliquely crosses the ridge and furrow earthworks in the field. (1-2)
