Monument record 393/0/4 - Possible Medieval Tofts (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation)

Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

{1} Aerial photos NCCAP:SP5468/001-5.

{4} A series of slight depressions or platforms close to the hollow way may be house sites and there are fragments of closes bounded by low scarps and banks, extending west, two of which end on the edge of a stream. Below the stream and at the south end of the site are other ditched enclosuers and ditches along some of which the diverted stream flows. Several of these appear to be relatively modern and indeed had hedges beside them until recent years. They may be connected with the drainage work recorded in 1828.
