Notes about this historic site

2 Earthworks of banked and ditched enclosures and linear features probably indicate the site of a shrunken Medieval settlement to the E of Bourton Hall.
3 After reviewing aerial photographs it seems that a series of garden earthworks exist, south of the road and under arable cultivation. These may have once been assiociated with Bourton Hall or an earlier high status building.
