Monument record 7536 - Large Enclosure in Hatherton

<1> Edwards R, 2008, The Cheshire Historic Landscape Characterisation (Report). SCH4463.

The project identified a large (c.1km) subcircular enclosure centred on Hatherton Lodge Farm (formerley Ashfields), encompassing Glovers Moss and bounded in part by Hunsterton Road in the north and east, and by the Hatherton - Hunsterton township boundary in the south.

During the HLC project was thought to be a possible location for the Parcum de Hatherton, a medieval deer park (see CHER 2107). However, documentary and place name evidence suggest that the park was located to the north-west. It may just be an artefact of the pattern of enclosure in the surrounding area and therefore reflect an area of land enclosed and subsequently subdivided.
