Notes about this historic site
1 Running approximately from SP2671 to SP2672 is a ditch and bank which is probably of medieval date, and originally served as a deer leap. Its overall width reaches about 1.20m and the distance between the top of the bank and the bottom of the ditch is about 1.60m. It is very well preserved in places and surprisingly no written or drawn documentation of it could be found.
