No trace of the Deserted Medieval Village at NT 923056.
At NT 9245 0583 on the crest of a south west facing slope
overlooking the church are the remains of a sub-divided rectangular
steading and garths 20.0 m x 5.0 m north west/south east, and a
larger, conjoined sub-oval enclosure formed by an earth and stone
bank. The whole stands on the prolongation of a SW facing scarp
which is parallel to a substantial bank to the west terminating at
the church-yard, and which appears to be of a later date. Areas to
the north, west and east have traces of rig and furrow.
These remains possibly represent medieval occupation which appear
to be isolated rather than forming part of any extensive village
settlement.
Remains do not warrant survey at 1:2500. (3)
