March 2006. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey (Compartment 71550). Features identified included:
Ditch and bank both of which correspond with boundaries marked by the O. S.; unlikely to be earlier in date than 18th or 19th century.
Two circular pits, also marked by O.S. Likely to be post-medieval marl or chalk extraction pits. These pits were both noted during the earlier survey.
See report (S2) for further details.
