Monument record BRD 139 - Post medieval flint mine

Small(?) group of hollows & gullies(?), possibly flint mining sites in mature woodland on W side of B1106. Only rapidly examined (S1), may be related to mine sites across road to NE (BRD 138).
Part of larger area defined by Clarke - see BRD 095.
Replotted after RAF photo of circa 1946 (SCCAS digital MapInfo data), Sept 2008.

The earthworks described above, which as suggested almost certainly relate to post medieval flint mining, are visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3) and imagery from a recent lidar survey (S4). Both linear gullies and more pit-like forms are evident. The earthworks have been mapped by extent and the polygon defining the site expanded to include additional areas to the south and southeast. The lidar indicates that the earthworks in the southernmost part of the site, which are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1986, have been partially levelled.
