Full Description
Probable remains of the medieval settlement of Creswell consisting of hollow way and crofts, field boundaries, trackway, mound, potential enclosure and associated ridge and furrow are visible as earthworks on air photographs, centred at SK 5308 7386. A sinuous hollow way is visible running north-west south-east flanked by embanked and ditched field boundaries. Parallel pattern of these reflects crofts. At SK 5284 7390 is a ditched rectilinear enclosure with associated field boundary or potential trackway. Only the northern side of the enclosure is visible. The feature measures approximately 62m in width. A mound, irregular in shape, is visible at SK 5308 7371. (2)
