Med or Civil War mounds. (1)
A rough ditch and untidy bank. The mounds may be part of this work. (2)
300 yds S by W of church; 3 grass covered mounds believed to be part of Civil War defences. (3) SK 719344. An ill-defined earthwork at Langar, in so far as shape is concerned, is unlike the siegeworks and is not accepted as a Civil War earthwork. (4)
A linear feature consisiting of a very mutilated and broken bank now part under crop and part corn stubble, no accompanying ditch can be recognised; no mounds as such are evident but the broken bank could, some years ago, have perhaps given this impression; only normal field debris was seen on the surface. The work lies beneath an adjacent high ridge in a topographically negative position and is not a product of the civil war engineers, similarly a Med origin and purpose seems unlikely and it is my opinion that the present picture is the result of drift digging across a contour flank, the bank being upcast spoil.
