Full Description
There are some irregular banks and ditches just east of the village. They resemble those at Crow Field, Bingham and Whimpton Moor, Ragnall and are probably traces of Med village buildings. (1)
Mounds in a field on the W side of the road to Upton, near farm buildings at the S end of Hockerton, and at right angles to Long Gulley, are possibly crofts of the Med village. (2)
At SK 717562, Faint traces of a possible sunken way and banks running SW. (3)
An old road running NW-SE has small quarries on both sides. Along the NE side next to the main road are traces of what may be building sites. Possible village contraction. (4)
Med pottery was picked up on the site on 28/02/1991 - c 20 sherds including shelly ware and green glaze. The site was ploughed for the first time in 1988 and is now out of cultivation again. (5)
