Description
A possible post medieval water meadow is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located along a meadow on the N facing bank of a watercourse about 650 metres N of Moreton Farm and centred at SP 79060 10105, a network of interconnected parallel and perpendicular linear ditches extends about 304 metres NW-SE. At either end of the system a drain connects with the watercourse. On aerial photographs taken in 2023 and recent remote sensing data, the earthworks remain extant (1-3).
