MSO9199 - Possible post-medieval water meadows on Codsend and Hoar Moors (Monument)

A water meadow system made up of leats running east to west has been noted on aerial photographs but not on the ground. It may otherwise be a combination of recent enclosure, a mill leat and local prehistoric earthworks.

Water meadow system made up of leats running roughly east to west on Codsend and Hoar Moors. May be confused to some extent with the prehistoric field system (MSO9193), although the latter has a different alignment. [1] The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England survey found no trace of this system which is probably a combination of recent enclosure, the prehistoric system and the mill leat (MSO11183). The 19th Century drainage runs north to south following the enclosure boundaries.
