Series of former field boundaries. NGR gives centre grid reference for a collection of 8 field boundaries within the grounds of Priory High School, Millbrook Lane. By 1945, some of the boundaries were not visible on aerial photos. No field boundaries recorded on 1970 OS 1:10560 scale map. Seven of the boundaries are recorded on the St James' Priory Estate Map drawn out by John Richards & dated 1740. They may have been cut in the medieval period and recut later in the post-medieval period. Grid references noted in EA report

A geophysical survey undertaken in the grounds of Priory School in 2003 centred on SX93359075 revealed a strong curvilinear anomaly running almost west to east for c100m which appeared to be a silted ditch. A possible former track was identified running almost north to south for c100m & was interpreted as a possible WWII feature.

Field boundaries within the grounds of Priory High School (now Isca College) were identified during the archaeological assessment prior to the school’s redevelopment. Some of these boundaries were exposed during the subsequent archaeological evaluation.
