Bank - SX 7767 8427
This runs west across open, level ground from SX 7767 8427 where it meets an angle in the walk forming the eastern boundary of the wood. The bank is 29m long and runs to a break of slope where the wood proper drops steeply into the Wray Valley. It is 0.3 - 0.5m high and 1 - 2m wide. It may be the remains of a field boundary older than the present walls and possible prehistoric, the line of which has been fossilised by some of the wood boundary and field walls.
