Summary

A small undated earthwork mound is seen on recent (2017) visualised lidar data. The mound may relate to a post medieval landscape garden feature associated with Bolwick hall and park (NHER 7523 & 44782). It is also possible that the mound may be natural in origin. Further mounds have been recorded within the park to the north and east (NHER 7485, 11276, 64312, 64313).

An undated earthwork mound (see above) is seen on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). The mound may relate to a post medieval landscape garden feature associated with Bolwick hall and park (NHER 7523 & 44782). It is also possible that the mound may be natural in origin. The mound appears to be under tree cover on recent aerial photographs (S2). Another undated mound is seen approximately 10m to the east (NHER 64314) with further undated mounds recorded to the north (NHER 7485, 64312, 64313). The feature is not recorded on the readily available historic maps (such as S3).
