A parkland earthwork feature of a probable 19th century tree mound is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, within Winslade Park, with which the feature is likely associated. The earthwork is clearly visible as a slightly raised oval shaped and levelled feature which extends slightly beyond the edge of the east facing slope and which the outer edge is possible defined by a circular bank. The earthwork measures approximately 36m in length by 31m in width and broadly corresponds to a circular arrangement of trees which are depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The earthwork likely represents part of an ornamental parkland feature associated with the planting of these trees sometime during the 19th century. The trees themselves appear to have been removed by the time of the Second Edition Ordnanace Survey map of approximately1904-06, leaving the earthwork platform, upon which the trees were established, visible. The earthwork remains clearly visible on Lidar-derived images of between 1998-2007.
