NHER 33856 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible medieval settlement

January 1946. RAF air photograph shows series of ditched enclosures on the north side of meandering hedge line, suggestive of common edge settlement.
Enclosure Award of 1776 confirms area to south as High Moor Common, but no further subdivision to north other than on modern maps.

September 1998. Visit confirmed existence of enclosure to east of farm building, their southern edge being a scarp and slight ditch, generally straight between the north to south divisions.
One scrap of medieval unglazed pottery on gently undulating surfaces of enclosures and possible but not completely convincing as settlement.
