Monument record 71/0/3 - Medieval/ post medieval close

Settlement remains of former houses closes which were once part of Croughton.

{1} Settlement remains (SP 545335) formerly part of Croughton, lie on the S side of the main village street, on sand at 114 m. above OD. A long narrow paddock immediately NW of the church extends S from the street bounded on its W and S sides by a low scarp up to 0.5 m. high, presumably marking the original boundary of an abandoned garden. The site of the assumed former house at its N end is occupied by a later quarry pit. Further SE and to the W of the manor house (at SP 544334) is an enclosure bounded on the S and W by a low
bank and external ditch. This appears to be the end of a close which once belonged to the existing buildings to the N. (1)
