Monument record 14228 - Boundary Earthwork between Wrenbury cum Frith and Woodcott Townships

Please read our .

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.
