NHER 61072 (Monument record) - Brick culvert in Lynford Park

April 2014. Rapid Identification Survey. HA 109.
A brick culvert in Lynford Park (NHER 30470). The line of the culvert is visible as an linear hollow about 65m long, up to 0.3m deep and aligned northwest to southeast. The culvert is exposed in three places where the roof has collapsed. It has a simple arched roof formed from bricks set on end. The distance between the side walls is 0.8m and the culvert is more than 0.6m tall (fallen soil prevented measurement of its full height).
The bricks are pink and light red in colour and measure 30cm by 7-8cm.
Given the natural slope, the culvert appears to run from the vicinity of Zig Zig Covert in the west towards a ditch in the east (NHER 61042). It may have transported water from the 18th century and later Lynford Hall (NHER 5138) or from the gardens that replaced this (NHER 61038 and 61039).
