Summary : Earthworks of possible medieval field boundaries and lynchets identified to the south and west of Church Meadow.
More information : [TQ 3724 6371] Signs of earthworks in the S.W. corner of "Church Meadow" possibly indicate the site of Addington Castle, the licence for the embattlement of which was granted in 1270. [But see also TQ 36 S.E. 21 for its traditional site.] [TQ 373 638. Coarse 13-14th C. pottery found by Hore & R.I. Little. These earthworks are the positive/negative lynchets of old field boundaries. The soil is clay with flints and the system is therefore probably of Md. date. The lynchets can be traced south and west of Church Meadow giving an area centred at TQ 372 636.
