Type and Period

DESERTED SETTLEMENT (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)

Description

1993. Site visit. The site is immediately adjacent to the churchyard. It is permanent pasture grazed by horses and its upland down contours suggest that it has never been cropped. The churchyard has a considerable ditch on the south eastern side suggesting a moated enclosure. If so, the original hall would be presumably be sited within it and the field be occupied by villages. Site visited by R. Havis in 1993, confirmed bumps in field but could be result of quarrying. <1>
