Site Event/Activity record ECH7258 - Cotton Edmunds Possible Deserted Medieval Village

The site consist of three fields on a terrace above the flood plain of the River Gowy which contain ditched enclosures. The fields are crossed by at least three hollow ways leading to a complex of puts which are fairly regular in size and shape. Each of the pits measures about forty metres by thirty metres and ridges have been formed by the spoil which has been thrown up beside each one. There are four clearly defined pits and a number of smaller hollows which suggest extraction of brick clay or clay soil for the restoration of the river defences.
