Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The parish of Brixworth, Northamptonshire, has been surveyed for medieval fields and pre-medieval sites. Three Romano-British sites are now known, including a villa that has previously been excavated and a third site that was formerly reported only as a Saxon cremation cemetery. The medieval fields cover all of the parish except the flooding meadows and the park of Wolfage Manor, which is detached from the village. The earthworks and fishponds of the manor house are well preserved. Some flattened areas of strips have been identified as the `rick-places' marked on a map of 1688, and are therefore presumably where stacks were built in the open fields. Other interesting features were three low mounds, one circular and two elongated, in a grass meadow. A local farmer explained that some eighty years ago rough grass and anthills used to be collected in the meadows and placed in heaps to rot down. The mounds are to be destroyed in 1973 and an excavation of the circular one was carried out in case it might be a barrow. It was indeed found to be constructed of turf and not a burial mound. |
