Type and Period
Description
2024-2025. Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project.
A medieval or post-medieval earthwork bank is visible as earthworks on 2023 0.25m Lidar data (commissioned by City of London Corporation). The bank is broad (approximately 30m wide) and low, likely having been gradually eroded through agricultural or park landscaping activity over time. It is aligned E/W and runs west from Warlies House towards West Hill for approximately 380m. A later post-medieval fishpond was cut on a similar east-west alignment into the bank at its eastern end. It is possible the bank was part of an earlier layout of Warlies Park. The feature was mapped as part of the 2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project carried out by Historic England. <1> <2>
