Full Description
{2} On the west side of Westhorpe there were former houses to both the north and south of the existing buildings; building platforms and part of the outer boundary of the closes are still visible ('c' and 'd' on Fig 131).
{3} A medieval boundary previously recorded by the Northamptonshire NMP is most likely a plough headland, but is not clearly visible on the available photographs. The ridge and furrow is extant on the latest 2008 specialist oblique photography.
