Monument record MDR4819 - House platforms, south side of Church Lane, Morley
Type and Period (1)
- SHRUNKEN VILLAGE (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A series of earthworks south-west of the church appear to be a series of house platforms (?) and a possible hollow way (?). There is no artefactual evidence, but the location near the church, a field system to the west, and the proximity to fishponds all suggest that the earthworks represent the remains of Medieval settlement.
