A small area of improved grazing marsh, on the south east end of Mersea Island, adjacent to the Colne Estuary, within Cudmore Grove Country Park. Reclamation is likely to have been during the 17th century. The marsh has been improved, but traces of the old creeks are still visible on aerial photographs. The area is divided by a straight water filled ditches. The landward boundary is a more sinuous ditch. One red hill is recorded (between two of the creeks) and there are also records of a prehistoric flint-knapping site. <1>
