Type and Period (2)
Full Description
{1} Settlement remains (TL 090852) formerly part of Hemington village, lie S of the main village street on either side of the road to the now isolated church. The remains suggest that the village has moved away from its original site in a NE direction but when this occurred is not known, It had certainly taken place by the C18th.
The earthworks, now mutilated and slight, consist mainly of shallow ditches and scarps, in generally rectangular areas, which were formerly crofts or closes. Only one house site can be identified; it consists of a well-marked rectangular depression near the NW end of a small close.
