We have been working with Fjordr to develop a method to help identify where floodplain meadows were in the past using online map resources. We have been testing this method through some local projects and in particular catchments. Our findings so far are shown on our historic floodplain meadows map.

You can filter the map to see whether any of the local sites were Common meadows, whether the mapped evidence shows Funnel shapes, and by the names used for meadows on old maps. If you click through to a particular meadow there is more information about the sources used to identify it and a level of confidence applied. It will also tell you if we have found references to Domesday for meadows in the area.
