Site record MDR4819 - House platforms, south side of Church Lane, Morley

Type and Period (1)

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. (1) Reviewed (2026), possible earthworks still observed using both LiDAR (2) and aerial photography.
