A025 Artificial Island (Possible).
This feature measures 42.0m from south-west to north-east and 22.0m
from north-west to south-east and stands to a height of 1.0m. Located on the site of lake shown on the 1816 Home Farm plan, it is possible that this feature is a man-made island. It is unclear whether it was constructed by excavating away the surrounding ground or whether the feature was built up.
