Monument record WNF 052 - Undated earthworks of linear ditches

Please read our .

Summary

Undated linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs on land within the northern part of Henham Park, Wangford with Henham. It is possible that these earthworks may represent part of the site described as ‘Moat and earthworks of Henham village in Tuttles Wood’ (SHER HAM 005). They are only visible on one set of photographs and have therefore been recorded with a note of caution, but since they may represent possible earthwork survival they may warrant further survey work.

Undated linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1) on land within the northern part of Henham Park, Wangford with Henham. It is possible that these earthworks represent part of the site described as ‘Moat and earthworks of Henham village in Tuttles Wood’ (SHER HAM 005), and they therefore may date to the medieval to post medieval period. They are only visible on one set of photographs and have therefore been recorded with a note of caution, but since they may represent possible earthwork survival they may warrant further survey work, although this is difficult to be certain of since they are not visible on latest Google Earth photography under an area of woodland.
