Notes about this historic site
2 Earthworks of an area of deserted Medieval or Post Medieval settlement show on air photographs.
3 Despite enclosure, Crimscote remained open in 1844. The ridge and furrow, now rapidly disappearing fron the landscape, shows that at one time arable cultivation had covered almost every inch of the township area, leaving very little land available for pasture.
4 Earthworks apparent, including possible building plots and routeways.
