| Description: | 2002 have revealed medieval occupation dating from the 12th–13th century within a raised toft platform separated from a croft by a hollow-way. Ditches flanked a hollow way in the south-eastern part of the site and beyond this the croft contained remains of a medieval ridge and furrow field system, leading down to the Rothley Brook. Structural evidence included compacted gravel foundations for a rectangular building and three possible post built structures. The excavations suggest that the site was abandoned in the late 13th century before re-use from the 15th century onwards with the toft being sub-divided perhaps for pastoral farming. |
