Full Description
{1} Settlement remains (SP 662585) formerly part of Nether Heyford village, lay on the SE side of the village, S of Brook Farm, on gravel at 75 m. above OD. The site has now been built over, but on air photographs taken before destruction, the slight remains of banks and scarps, presumably the sites of former houses, are visible. The loss of these remains means that the main part of the village which lies to the NW of it can never be fully understood.
