Full Description
2000-2002. Woodland Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey.
Stoneyhill Breck. Management Unit L1, Site 115:
Parish and warren boundary and enclosures. The parish and part-warren boundary along the eastern edge of most of the site is a multiple bank feature, usually two or four parallel banks, and is shown as a trackway on early maps.
Mostly to the west and within Sturston are a series of rectangular and rectilinear banked enclosures extending for 250m from the track on grassland. A linear double ditch aligned northeast to southwest crosses these features. The enclosures are thought to be stock enclosures on uneven ground, although they are small enough to be arable fields.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

The perimeter boundary banks marking the boundary between the Surston and Wretham rabbit warrens has between three and four parallel banks.
