Summary
A possible garden enclosure is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar data captured in 2006-2007. It is probably associated with Down House and of post-medieval or modern date, passing out of use prior to the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.

A rectilinear banked enclosure is visible as an earthwork west of Down House on aerial photographs from 1946 and on images derived from Lidar data captured in 2006-2007. It is probably associated with the gardens around Down House and is likely to be of post-medieval or modern date, although it is not depicted on the 1841 Tithe map so it probably went out of use prior to the mid nineteenth century. Earthwork remains are likely to survive.
