Full Description

{1} Settlement remains (SP 793700) formerly part of Holcot, lie immediately N of the village on the S side of a small valley. The remains are now partly submerged by the waters of Pitsford Reservoir, and consist of a number of small embanked and ditched paddocks on either side of a broad E-W hollow-way. The closes to the N of the hollow-way have traces of ridge-and-furrow within them. Former building platforms on the S side of the southernmost closes have been destroyed by modern housing along Walgrave Road.
