Description
Against a background of a poorly-documented part of this medieval village with late Saxon beginnings, excavations found evidence for a medieval stone quarry of considerable size, probably after the street was laid out with burgage plots to attract entrepreneurs and incomers to settle. After the scars on the land were made good, it was used for paddocks or gardens and put to low level backyard use. Any occupation focus probably lay at some distance.
