The Med village of Woodcotes is now lost but was linked with another village in the 1334 tax list. Loss probably due to enclosure petition of 1414. (1)
APs show faint markings in fields near possible site. (2)
Earthworks indicative of desertion survive at above grid ref. They comprise a sunken road with adjacent, probable house sites and enclosures, flanked on the E and S by rig and furrow - all in permanent pasture. Traces of the road can be seen immediately N of the stream where a shallow depression crosses arable land. Further enclosures and roads are visible on (4) and RAF APs at SK 784718, but have been ploughed out and the whole field is under crop. (3)
Morph: 159.2.1 holloway, 159.2.2 ditch, 159.2.3 platform, 159.2.4 platform. (5)
