Monument record 15247 - Poynton and Worth Township Boundary Earthworks
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The township boundary between Poynton and Worth survives as an earthwork in this area. 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.
