Summary

A linear cropmark, visible on aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 2006, is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary, removed prior to the mid-19th century. Below-ground remains are likely to survive.

A possible former field boundary is visible as a dark linear cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 2006, within the designed landscape of Bridwell Park. It manifests in a similar way to other linear features in the parkland which correspond to field boundaries depicted on the late-19th century mapping. It appears to have been truncated by the driveway south-west of the house, and to have continued to the south. This perhaps suggests that it pre-dated the mid-19th century Tithe Map, on which the driveway is depicted. Although earthwork remains are not visible, below-ground remains are likely to survive.
