Full Description
Earthworks, said locally to be site of Little Carbrooke deserted medieval village. Visited at request of landowner in advance of bulldozing for drainage. At east end of field is a slightly sunken roadway, grassed, apparently leading to a ford. It used to follow the parish boundary southwards. At west end field the portion of parish boundary marked on (S1) as not following the field boundary runs along an old watercourse. But otherwise the 'earthworks' seem to be only hillwash, drainage and dredgings; amorphous humps and bumps. No finds in many molehills.
E. Rose (NAU), 29 January 1982.
Field is Church Meadow on (S2). Road and ford not marked. Informant reports seeing 'timbers in river' in 1979 here, but not seen by E.Rose on above visit.
