Two earthwork banks of possible former parkland features or lynchets of potential medieval date are visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured during 2005, within Hillersdon Park. The two broadly east to west aligned and parallel earthworks are located on the southern side of a south facing and moderately sloping spur. The northern of the two is less extensive and measures approximately 103m in length by 9m in width, whilst that to the south measures approximately 215m in length by 20m in width. If the earthworks do represent the remains of parkland features or lynchets, then they are likely associated with the medieval manor house of Hillersdon House. The earthworks were not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
