Description
2024-2025. Epping Forest Aerial Investigation and Mapping Project.
The remains of a post-medieval garden feature are visible as an earthwork on 2023 0.25m Lidar data (commissioned by City of London Corporation). The feature comprises a ring bank with a total diameter of approximately 14m situated within the woodland border named ‘The Selvage’ which delineates the western extent of the Copped Hall estate. The function of the earthwork is unclear. One possible interpretation is the former site of a dove cote. The feature was mapped as part of the 2024-2025 Epping Forest Aerial and Investigation Project carried out by Historic England. <1> <2>
