Monument record MDO514 - Shrunken settlement at Manor Farm, Broadmayne

Please read our .

Summary

Slight earthworks forming a series of small enclosures defined by earthen banks and ditches were observed in 1995 during archaeological work in connection with a proposed extension to the graveyard. These earthworks were interpreted as medieval settlement remains; probably the remains of closes behind houses which are thought likely to have been situated closer to the road.
