Notes about this historic site
1 Earthwork features beside a patch of waste land at the junction of several routeways seem to represent the site of a former settlement. A building is shown on Greenwood’s map of Warwickshire for 1822 and a roadside smithy on the OS 1885 1st Edition 1:10560 map. Pieces of building stone and flagstone have been noted. There may since have been some quarrying into the site to build up the road leading to Little Alne. The site has been surveyed by members of a University of Warwick extramural class.
