MMO729 - Medieval or post-medevial deserted farmstead at Woolcotts (Monument)

Medieval or post-medieval features associated with the farmstead and settlement of Woolcotts, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and including possible house platforms, field boundaries and ridge and furrow.

Medieval or post-medieval features associated with the farmstead and settlement of Woolcotts. Features include possible house platforms immediately to the south of the modern settlement as well as banked and ditched field boundaries and ridge and furrow to the southeast. These features appear to be overlain by the drainage system decribed in MMO728 and are therefore of earlier date. These features are visible on vertical air photographs and are centred at SS 9694 3134. [1-3] It was not possible to gain access to this site for the purposes of field investigation.
