Full Description

{2} The hollow way is edged by a number of shallow depressions, none of them very deep, all presumably the sites of former buildings. These depressions are separated by low banks or scarps which extend down the hillsides and represent some of the original close boundaries. In two places, towards the south east end of the village, low scarps also mark the ends of these closes. The closes on the north west side have been overploughed by later ridge-and-furrow.
