Map
Type and Period (1)
- DITCH (Post-Medieval - 1540 AD to 1798 AD)
Description
A short length of ditch of probable post medieval date is visible on historic aerial photographs as earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located approximately 570m west of the settlement at Ford, Dinton-with-Ford and Upton, and centred at SP 78345 09305. This ditch is located close to an area of coprolite extraction and may have been associated with that activity. It is no longer clearly visible on lidar visualisations and modern land use is arable so it has probably been infilled/levelled by ploughing. (1-3)
