Full Description

{1} Earthworks of the shrunken village of Holcot. The remains are now partially submerged by Pitsford reservoir and consist of a number of small embanked and ditched paddocks on either side of a broad east-west hollow way. The closes to the north of the hollow way show traces of ridge and furrow within, whilst those to the south had building platforms at their southern end until destroyed by modern housing along the Walgrave Road.
