Summary
Two curvilinear hollows are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005, parallel to the steep north-east and south-east facing combe slopes. They are interpreted as 19th or 20th century woodland trackways, or possible surviving sections of the Lumburn Leat.

Two curvilinear hollows, circa 6 metres wide, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005, parallel to the steep north-east and south-east facing combe slopes.
The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are, however, situated along the known recorded route of the Lumburn Leat (MDV63055) which crosses this area.
The earthworks are recorded as probable 19th or 20th century woodland trackways within Blackmoorham Wood, but they could also be surviving sections of the Lumburn Leat.
