Full Description
Ditches and a bank or trackway of unknown date are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs, centred on TM 18593878 in Woolverstone Park. A very faint fragment of rectilinear ditches can be seen as an earthwork on photographs from 1944 (S1) and may be visible as a cropmark in later years, centred on TM 18593878, though the features are difficult to locate within the cropmark complex SF4820 / WLV 008. These features may be drains or possibly field boundaries that were fossilised when the area was emparked (S2-S4). A curvilinear levelled bank or trackway is also visible, centred on TM 18493879. The possible trackway or field boundary is visible running for 300m on a north-south orientation. It does not appear to be related to any of the field system cropmarks in WLV 008 (S5).
