Aerial photos (4-5)
Plot boundaries and a subrectangular enclosure of probable medieval/post medieval date are visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and were mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located at Duck End, Swanbourne, and centred at SP 79776 27513. Earthworks are of linear plot boundaries, continuing the alignment of ditches within the surrounding areas of ridge and furrow earthworks, and joining at right angles with other boundaries. Ditches forming an area 38x25m, a subcircular depression and other areas of sloping ground are visible on lidar visualisations. Modern land use is as pasture, most likely for horses. (6-10)
