Description
The boundary between Upper and Middle Thorn Parks. Part of a block of post-medieval fields N of the farm. The scarp is badly eroded with ongoing loss of loss of the earthwork and hedgerow plants.
Recommendations: As an important historic landscape feature the field boundary needs urgent action. As a priority the fields need to be made stock-proof, and a program of stabilisation and restoration initiated.
