Possible water management features, ditches, drains and channels, shown on aerial photographs of Filham Park. The features may be associated with the creation of of the parkland and gardens around Lower Filham House. They seem rather too elaborate to have been purely functional; rustic cascades were a popular garden feature of the early to mid 1700s. Lower Filham house dates from the late medieval period but was extensively rebuilt in the 18th century.
