Monument record 1406/0/2 - Probable area of medieval settlement, Easton Maudit

Fieldwalking survey identified an area of stone rubble, traces of a road and pottery dating to the 12th-14th centuries, suggesting this area was occupied during the medieval period. Slight earthworks of probable former closes are visible on lidar imagery.

{1} Immediately east of the present village, and south of the site of the manor house, stone rubble, traces of a road, and pottery of the 12th to the 14th century, have been found in the arable land.

{3} Slight earthworks of rectangular closes are visible on lidar imagery. Slight ridge and furrow earthworks to the south abut the southern boundaries, but do not appear to truncate them.
