Notes about this historic site
1 Archaeological evaluation identified traces of earthworks. Trial trenching revealed that these earthworks were probably the disturbed remains of ridge and furrow. An undated ditch was probably a field boundary on the edge of the village. The quality and preservation of the archaeological deposits are such that minimal archaeological information will be lost through development.
