Monument record MDO30193 - Post medieval trackway, Grant's Plot, East Stoke

A linear ditch flanked by banks on either side is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of Grant's Plot, Easte Stoke taken in 1945. It is considered likely to be the remains of a post medieval trackway, probably leading to the enclosure shown as Grant's Plot on the 1st and 2nd Edition Historic OS Maps.
