Full Description
<1> Ordnance Survey, 1870-1982, Ordnance Survey Archaeological Record Card, SJ66SE(M) (Index). SCH2487.
Short curved ditch - post rig and furrow.
<2> Ordnance Survey, 1871-1882, Ordnance Survey County Series (Epoch 1) 25 inch to 1 mile - Cheshire, SJ6763, 1876 (Maps and Plans). SCH2462.
The feature is partially depicted on this map.
<3> Royal Air Force, 1944-1947, 1940s RAF Aerial Photographs from Operation Review, CPE/UK/1935/2153-4-Jan 1947 RAF (Aerial Photograph). SCH8041.
A curving north-south aligned ditch c.230m long and with a bank on the western side. Appears to be a quite deep ditch with a sizable bank. At the northern end the ditch appears to be shallower and the bank stops c.25m before the end. Close examination of the aerial photography seems to indicate that the ridge and furrow earthworks in the field to the north of the east-west lane which bisects the ditch and bank, continue into into the ditch. The southern half of the feature is more sharply defined.
