Summary

Two linear earthwork banks, aligned east to west and circa 2 metres in width and 30 metres apart, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 1963. These are perpendicular to a trackway visible as a linear earthwork ditch and depicted on the historic mapping. They are fairly clear and narrow, and may be related to the post-medieval historic parkland of Stedcombe House. The area appears to have been afforested since the 1960s, and the survival of the earthworks is not known.
