NHER 29498 (Monument record) - Undated earthworks and post medieval culvert

February 1993. Ruggs Hall Earthworks. Site visited during NLA earthwork survey fieldwork.
Irregular platforms of varying heights with wide ditch (1m deep) on southwest, and altered pond to north. Ditch much too broad for normal drainage functions.
One Roman greyway sherd on platform. Identified by A. Rogerson (NLA), 12 February 1993.
A brick and tile line culvert, approximately 45m long and 0.7m wide, partly broken, takes a watercourse under the entrance to this field. Brick and tile appear early post medieval.
40m further southwest a ridge with some brick in upper levels crosses the watercourse at right angles.
Further southwest on the north side of the main watercourse banks, ridges and depressions suggest some drainage/water management function including a pond.
