- FIELD BOUNDARY (Medieval to Post-Medieval - 1066 AD? to 1798 AD?)
- BOUNDARY BANK (Medieval to Post-Medieval - 1066 AD? to 1798 AD?)
Description
A single bank 200m in length, with a right angle bend, was seen as a cropmark at SU 7776 8725 and sketch plotted at 1:10,000 (B1).
This record includes National Record of the Historic Environment Information provided by Historic England on 4 June 2025 licensed under the Open Government Licence (B2).
Former field boundary banks survive as low earthworks in the arable fields north of Woolleys, visible on the Chilterns Conservation Board Lidar dataset. The boundaries appear to be of large, regular, rectangular fields, some of which may respect current field boundaries and the main north-south road, so presumably are of post-medieval date. The boundary bank recorded by the Royal Commission is the best-preserved of the earthworks (B3).
The field boundaries are shown on the 1812 OS surveyor's draft 2-inch map.
