Abstract: |
An evaluation and subsequent mitigation exercise found evidence of a massive 18th century ditch which ran east-west roughly parallel to the line of Lee High Road. Only the south side of the ditch was exposed, it had been supported by the addition of stout timber planking nailed to raked wooden uprights. The precise function of the ditch is at present unclear. It might have once formed a moat around a manor house or could represent a relief channel for water draining from the hillside located to the north into the river Quaggy, or it may have fulfilled both of these functions. |
