Description
Summary Description and Reason for Designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The monument consists of the remains of a deserted rural settlement, probably dating to the medieval or post-medieval period, situated in a sloping field of rough grazing. The remains include: at least 4 house sites, approximately 12m x 5m, with clear doorways; enclosures; and paddocks. This is apparently at the site of the Redwalles Manor mentioned in 1293.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of medieval or post-medieval settlement organisation. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. A deserted rural settlement may be part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance can be further enhanced by their group value.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive. It is an irregular polygon in shape on plan, and measures 275m N-S by 215m transversely.
