Monument record 373/0/7 - Medieval Linear Settlement Remains (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

A series of embanked closes and possible building platforms, remains of part of the deserted settlement of Upper Catesby. The earthworks have now been destroyed by modern cultivation. Crop/soilmark+Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

{2} Immediately south-east of the existing houses, and now entirely destroyed by modern cultivation, was a series of embanked closes, separated from the adjacent ridge and furrow to the south by a low bank and ditch and with traces of buildings at the north ends where the existing lane to Badby seems to have been the main street. The closes at the west end were cut by a later quarry.
