Abstract: |
In 2014 the Assessment Team (West) undertook an analytical survey of the earthworks east of Lower Paxcroft farm, Hilperton which had been identified as part of the West Wiltshire NAIS Project. This survey, alongside desk based research has defined the remains of an irregular row settlement placed along the edge of a hollow-way which has marked the boundary of Steeple Ashton Parish for centuries. The earthworks probably indicate that the settlement saw at least one phase of growth before suffering a staged decline which extended into the 19th century. It was placed along the hollow-way to provide ready access both to Steeple Ashton's common and the enclosed arable fields north of the site. |
