Full Description
{2} Closes also exist on the south side of the east-west road leading from Westhorpe towards the main part of the village (marked 'e' on the earthwork plan). The symmetry of these closes and the L-shaped layout along two straight lengths of road suggests that Westhorpe may have been a planned extension of the main village. No date for the abandonment of these earthworks has been established.
