Monument record 2209/1/3 - Earthworks and possible Lime Kiln

A set of earthworks formerly survive in two paddocks to the south of Tytherington Old Hall and north of the stream. The eastern part of the site has two ditches and a narrow terrace running N-S, and the western half, two rectangular terraces running NE-SW and separated by low banks. Set into the southern end of one of these terraces was a U-shaped foundation, perhaps the base ofa field lime kiln (1).
