- None recorded
Full Description
An area of probable medieval settlement remains was recorded in this location in March 2013 and October 2014, as part of a research project investigating the development of Castle Carlton. The remains comprised the earthworks of former boundary and property ditches, building platforms and traces of former tofts. The exact date of these features could not be determined, and it was unclear whether they represented a westerly extension of settlement from the nearby castle (see PRN 43602), or outlying tofts associated with the later settlement (see PRN 42503). {1}{2}
