Full Description
{1} On the north side of the road are at least three other small closes with slight indications of former buildings within them. It is possible that the site once extended further eastwards towards the village, but the area to the north of the road has been ploughed and only slight scarps remain. Earthwork plan. No date for the abandonment of this part of the village is known though it had certainly disappeared by 1740. It may be the site of one of the two deserted settlements referred to by Bridges.
