| Abstract: | Investigations by Albion Archaeology in 2008 at Westoning Lower School revealed numerous postholes, gullies and ditches, representing the remains of two phases of medieval activity. The earliest phase comprised the partial footprints of three probable buildings dated by pottery to the 12th–13th centuries. Their location suggests that a road on the line of the present-day High Street was already in existence by this time. This road is possibly one of three focal points from which the village of Westoning developed. By the beginning of the 14th century, the buildings appear to have been abandoned and were replaced by ditches demarcating a NE–SW boundary. These had become completely infilled by the end of the 15th century, from which time the site appears to have been used as farmland until the construction of the school in the early 20th century. | ||
