Full description

Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV1142.

Vis=19/12/1983 (quinnell, fletcher + coles) about 1.5ha of permanent pasture. A wide, embanked trackway runs n-s. To each side a series of closes and platforms set on terraces. According to mr coles there is no tradition or record of settlement here, but the site appears to be one of medieval desertion (worksheet).

The site is visible on 1947 aps, but little detail is clear. Rapid examination of aps suggests presence of a number of linear features (possibly farming enclosures and at least one possible pond) visible c.700m nnw of briscotts cottage (miller).

It is largely unclear from the NMP database record alone, which of the earthworks transcribed here are associated with this record. The earthworks mostly appear to represent the remains of former field boundaries, although a number of the earthwork ditches more likely represent watercourses of post-medieval to modern date. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
