Summary
The small medieval or post-medieval settlement of Upcott is shown on late 19th century Ordnance Survey map and is still visible on the RAF 1940's aerial photographs. It was removed by the second half of the 20th century. A large earthwork mound, possibly from its demolition, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1971. Other mounds were also recorded in the vicinity of the former settlement and may be associated.

A large mound marks the site of the deserted farmstead of Upcott. It is visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. Five other mounds of uncertain origin lie within 200m of the main settlement, which is marked on the OS 1st Edition 1:2500 scale map, and may be associated with it.
