Summary : Platforms of probable medieval date are visible as earthworks on air photographs and lidar. Although the medieval village of Bitchfield is noted around this location, the platforms are not of the character expected of settlement remains. The earthworks may relate to West Bitchfield tower (UID 20703) which forms part of the farm complex to the west. They may be the remains of formal gardens or perhaps a range of buildings. The platforms are extant on the latest 2016 lidar. |
