Full Description

ST77501182. A flat-topped bank from 10-12 ft wide and 3-4 ft high with a ditch on the South side is 300 yards long, and very similar in appearance to the bank at Park Coppice in Sydling St Nicholas. Although it coincides with the parish boundary here, the boundaries have been subject to alteration in comparatively recent times. It is a possible deer park bank. (Wilson 1971)
