Full Description
January 2007. Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey.
Oak Wood Site 5:
A roadside ditch measuring up to 4m wide and 1m deep was observed during a rapid earthwork survey of Oak Wood, Crackling Hill, and Sheringham Wood. The ditch runs alongside the road and has an intermittent ditch bank on the south. A 20m long series of irregular depressions and banks, one measuring 6m by 3m and 1m deep, were visible in the centre and a narrow silt trench measuring 7m long adjoins it to the west. These earthworks are likely associated with trench-building activity known to have taken place in Oak Wood (see NHER 38264).
