Description
2024-2025. Epping Forest Aerial Investigation and Mapping Project.
A post-medieval tree enclosure ring is visible as an earthwork on 2023 0.25m Lidar data (commissioned by City of London Corporation). The enclosure is formed of a sub-circular ditch, however, only the northern half of the enclosure remains having been truncated by an east-west boundary. The feature measures approximately 45m x >20m and was probably related to similar tree enclosures situated to the south (EHER 81403). This feature was mapped as part of the 2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project carried out by Historic England. <1> <2>
