{1} Archaeological investigation ahead of development of a site within the historic core of the village identified a phase of limestone quarrying which was superceded by a series of stone-founded buildings aligned along the south side of the Cotterstock Road frontage. Initial analysis suggests there may have been up to six buildings. Pitched stone surfaces and a hearth were also found. A map of 1614 does not show any development in this area indicating that it had been abaondoned by the post-medieval period.
