Description: The buried and earthwork remains of the medieval settlement of Brookhampton, located upon the south facing slopes of a hillside above the River Dene. The settlement includes the remains of the manor house, the medieval fishpond complex, house sites, gardens and allotments of the medieval village, and its associated hollow ways, field boundaries, enclosures and ridge and furrow cultivation remains. Parch marks, or areas of brown or dying grass which occur where stone remains close beneath the surface, are visible at the site during dry summers and indicate that the buildings were constructed from stone, which is relatively rare among the villages of the Warwickshire claylands. Brookhampton was mentioned by Rous around 1450 when it is already thought to have been depopulated. A mill is subsequently recorded here during the 1540s although its site is no longer visible. Scheduled.
