Post-medieval features, land to the South of Oak Hill Road (EHER 82951)

Trial trenching in 2025 revealed the remains of post-medieval former field boundaries related to agricultural land use. These do not appear on historic maps and so probably have an earlier post-medieval origin.

2025. Evaluation by trial trenching. Two post-medieval ditches were identified towards the north of site, aligned broadly west-northwest/east-southeast and north-northeast/south-southwest, which aligns parallel and perpendicular with Oak Hill Road. These likely form part of the post medieval agricultural field system, although their absence from historic maps suggest they originate earlier in the period and were backfilled prior to the 1873 OS map. They are likely related to earlier post-medieval agricultural land use and are of low significance. They may have some potential to inform on field layouts in the late medieval to early post-medieval periods. Information from <1>.
