Find Spot record 4643/0/0 - Unstratified Medieval Finds

{1} Medieval settlement (?)(SP 720557) lies in the extreme NE corner of the parish, near a place known as Oldfield, on Upper Lias Clay at 76 m. above OD. Finds found in 1967; a quantity of C13th and C14th pottery was found, together with tiles and bones. No further finds have been made, but to judge from the available air photographs of the settlement, if such it was, was either very small or had been ploughed over by ridge and furrow which once covered the entire area.

{2} Site name: Oldfield. Thirteenth and fourteenth century pottery, well scattered, some tile and bone. Deserted medieval village? February 1967
