Description
Proposals to level a U-shaped earthwork enclosing a spring prompted a survey by the Bishop's Stortford and District Local History Society. Limited excavation showed that the feature was covered by a well-developed turf some 23 cm. thick, whilst 10 to 15 cm. of silt had accumulated within the central area. No dating evidence was recovered, though it may have been related to the 12th century priory.
