Notes about this historic site
1 Dead Leys Field and the adjoining Johnsons Field contain a complex of earthworks with a well-defined hollow way and croft boundaries. A large platform at SP4660 was said to have been an old walled garden.
2 The plan marks the hollow way and the location of the skeleton find spot.
3 Skeletons have been found in this field (PRN 6213) and this could be the site of the Medieval chapel (PRN 740).
