Abstract:		 The study area lay between the medieval villages of Henbury and Charlton. The manor of Henbury was known to date at least from AD 691 and archaeological evidence suggested that the village of Charlton was probably occupied before 1066. The field containing the site was by 1794 part of The Wyck otherwise known as Wyck Farm. The evidence suggested that The Wyck was in existence by 1195 when it was a freehold farmstead and it was possible that the field containing the site had been associated with the farm from that time. The 1840 tithe award listed the field as Hilly Benches suggesting that it consisted of a number of natural terraces cut into the hill. The cartographic evidence suggested that apart from the construction of a railway line, the study area did not lose its rural character until the post-war development of the housing estate. [Au(adp)]
