Monument record 14228 - Boundary Earthwork between Wrenbury cum Frith and Woodcott Townships
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The former boundary between Wrenbury cum Frith and Woodcott townships survives as a distinct, and sometimes sizable, earthwork. Townships (often the precursor to the modern parish) were the building blocks of social and ecclesiastical organisation in the countryside and can date from the Anglo-Saxon period. They are often marked by banks, ditches, stones and species rich hedgerows and may be associated with sub-surface archaeological remains.
