Notes about this historic site

1 Possible floated water meadows although they are on a much smaller scale than the possible examples beside the River Avon mapped elswhere. A square feature is also mapped, possibly a pond although its function and the date of its
construction are unsure. The nearest high status house, Toft Hall, shown on the early OS maps that might have fish ponds or ornamental gardens is 400m away to the southwest, which makes that function unlikely. These features were mapped as part of the National Mapping Programme (NMP) Block 8.
2 This monument was created after the completion of the NMP project. This feature was mapped in the GIS layer, but no monument had been created. Unfortunately, the source photograph cannot be traced at this time, although it most likely is an RAF photograph.
