Monument record 2175 - Thurning

Medieval or Post Medieval shrunken village remains, which are much disturbed and form no coherent pattern.

{1} Settlement remains (TL 08408282-08858212 partly on fig 105) formerly part of Thurning village, lie W and NE of the church and behind the present street. The remains are much disturbed, cut into by ponds, and form no coherent pattern.

{2} Thurning is a small settlement with very simple plan form containing no clear evidence for the existence of a market place. The settlement would not appear to be particularly well documented and certainly not in the period when the market existed. Although the settlement is not extensively built up there seems little potential for the archaeological study of commercial functions. It was not subject to detailed study in the EUS. Possibly not taken forward to Stage 2 survey and assessment.
