More information : Lamyatt shrunken village ST 652358. Earthworks to the
SW of the village, of house platforms, crofts, holloways and
boundary banks suggest that the village was once larger and on
a different alignment from the present one.
ST 652359. Deserted Medieval site, west of Lower Batch Farm,
with well preserved earthworks in a field now used for permanent
pasture. Two hollow ways, one running east to west, the other
north to south, and well preserved rectangular house platforms
are visible. Scheduled.
ST 6536: A series of earthworks west of Lamyatt were surveyed by
Bristol University. Fifteen house platforms front a possible Ro road
(RRX 37). The earthworks are undated but may be early medieval since
a C9 charter implies that the road was disused by this time. The
earthworks appear to be a medieval village with clearly defined
tofts, crofts, and boundary banks. (See Illustration Card for plan)
