• TN030-045 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  Site identified on aerial photographs taken by M. Moore (ASIAP (44) 24-26, 28-32) taken in 1996. Extensive remains of a series of earthworks in an unploughed field with rock outcrop protruding from surface in places. Eastern half of field is occupied by quarry holes of 18th and 19th century. The western half of this field on top of high ground there are the remains of a circular enclosure (diam. N-S 40m; E-W 45m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth 1.6m; base Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.5m) with traces of an outer fosse (base Wth 1.7m; Top Wth 3m; ext. D 0.2m) and possible external bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.2m). In the centre of the enclosure there are the remains of a small rectangular house site (dims.3m N-S x 9m E-W ) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1m; H 0.3m) with hollow interior (D 0.4m). To the S of this enclosure are the remains of two small rectangular enclosures (approx. dims. 14m N-S x 12m E-W ) and a series of low undulating earth and stone banks running off these two enclosures. To the N of the enclosure are the remains of several low earth and stone banks running N-S which may be the remains of medieval field boundaries.

There are no remains of any earrhworks in the eastern half of the field as this area is peppered with 18th and 19th century quarry holes.
