Find Spot record 4678/0/0 - Unstratified Medieval & Post Medieval Finds

Ploughing of earthworks at Hulcote in 1977 revealed large areas of stone, brick and post-medieval finds in places where buildings were shown on a map of 1806. Elsewhere large quantities of medieval pottery were exposed

{1} Medieval and post medieval finds. The earthworks associated with the village lay to the N. of the green until 1977 when they were ploughed over and largely destroyed. They consisted of a series of ditched or scarped closes and building-platforms with long narrow ditched closes extending to the stream behind them. The recent ploughing revealed large areas of stone-rubble and brick, associated with post-medieval pottery, tiles, glass and bone, in the places where buildings are shown on the 1806 map. Elsewhere large quantities of earlier pottery including 12th-century Stamford ware and 13th and 14th-century sherds of Olney, Lyveden and Potterspury types were exposed.
