Description
October 2011. Trial trenching.
No evidence was found for the medieval farmhouse at Scott's Farm having stood on the site of the present farmhouse. However, two possible medieval features (a pit and a linear feature) and some residual medieval pottery sherds from post-medieval features (see EHER 48079) suggest that the medieval farmhouse stood nearby, perhaps in the same location as the post-medieval farmhouse. <1>
