Description
NRHE data transfer:
A post-medieval and/or early 20th century tree avenue is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The avenue is centred at TL 5238 3809 and extends roughly WSW/ENE in an arc measuring 75m long. It flanks part of the driveway between Lion Gate and Audley End House, within Audley Park. The avenue comprises eight tree holes on the western side plus one tree hole and several extant trees on the eastern side of the drive.
The small circular holes each measure about 1.3m in diameter. They are spaced between 8m and 11m apart and are visible due to the differential rate of thawing of the overlying snow visible on aerial photographs taken in January 1947. <1>
