Abstract: |
A fossilized medieval landscape of cultivation remains was found preserved as earthworks, but was more extensively visible as crop marks from air photographs, within the application area and around Clayhanger Hall Farm. This ancient landscape seemed to have related to a settlement at Clayhanger with an attendant chapel. Shrinkage of the settlement and change to the agricultural economy in the late Middle Ages and early post-medieval times led to a pattern of ancient closes and paddocks being developed, represented today as a series of hedged boundaries also shown on early 19th century maps. Although no historic buildings or archaeological artefacts were found on the application area itself, circumstantial evidence from the surrounding countryside suggested a presence from prehistoric times, represented by stone tools, and industrial activities such as brick-making in the post-medieval period, and possibly salt working from the Iron Age and Roman times.
