Full description
A moated site and other linear earthworks are shown by the OS. Other earthworks have been recorded by aerial survey. The earthworks were surveyed in April 1977 (within the scheduled area). The bank and ditch (L8309) has been identified as the "Ring of the Village". It was an earthwork which surrounded the village, separating the homesteads from the fields before the enclosure of 1598. (1)
Extensive settlement earthworks including ridge and furrow, field boundaries, crofts and building platforms (see element records for details). (2)
Overall the earthworks are in very good condition and all the elements are clearly visible (3).
