Summary description and reason for designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The monument comprises the remains of earthworks, platforms and building footings, representing a deserted village, of probable medieval date. The structures were situated around a sunken trackway or "hollow way". The remains are located to the south-west of the modern settlement. A manorial map of 1622 shows the settlement as abandoned.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of medieval settlement. The monument forms an important element within the wider medieval context and the scheduled area may be expected to contain a wide range of archaeological information, including chronological detail and evidence in regard to construction techniques and agricultural methods.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
