Description

Possible site of a deserted medieval village (DMV). <1> 2025 note: This record is based on conjectural evidence from other country-wide sites that suggest a medieval village is likely located within close proximity to a church. However, more recent evidence suggests that this logic cannot always be applied to Essex. The DMV records in the Essex HER will remain until further archaeological investigation in completed.
