Full Description
Earthworks and cropmarks of medieval settlement activity, comprising the remains of a number of enclosures, platforms, trackways and boundaries. Identified on aerial photographs examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1}
Field walking identified medieval settlement remains probably corresponding with the southern edge of the site of the small deserted settlement of Wyche. The earliest pottery dates to the 12th century and this, combined with the absence of a mention in the Domesday Book, suggests that the settlement was founded in the 12th century at the earliest. No house platforms or other earthworks were discovered which, along with the distribution of cropmarks to the north, suggests that the centre of the settlement lies to the north outwith this survey area. {2}{3}
