Description
NRHE data transfer:
Medieval/post-medieval water channels are visible as slight earthworks in lidar data within Audley Park. The site comprises linear ditches which intersect at TL 5249 3846 to form an elongated X-shape which is oriented roughly north-west/south-east. The ditches correspond with water channels marked on a plan of Audley End dated after 1752 and associated with several ponds located to their west, but could be remnants of the medieval monastic system of water channels and fishponds. <1>
