What is recorded here
Situated on a slight N-facing slope. A geophysical survey (09R207) identified numerous potential archaeological features in a development site of about 18 ha (c. 45 acres). Archaeological testing (09E0544) confirmed that a concentrated area of features (dims c. 200m E-W; x c. 150m N-S) constituted a medieval settlement area. It comprised numerous ditches in rectilinear patterns. It is largely within a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 130m NW-SE; c. 80m NE-SW) defined by ditches (Wth 2-4m; D 0.3-1m) with stone structures at its centre.
