Full Description
{2} To the north of the stream and now also destroyed were some unusual rectangular tofts and crofts extending up the hillside. These too have scatters of stone and medieval pottery at their south ends, and must be the remains of former houses and their gardens. The extremely regular plan of these earthworks implies an element of planning here.
