Deserted medieval village and field system at Garmondsway

  • Description

    "....The monument includes the deserted medieval village of Garmondsway and part of its field system, situated on a steep north facing slope. It is divided into two separate areas. The village is visible as a series of well preserved earthen banks standing to over 0.6m high, forming at least 13 rectangular enclosures; many of these enclosures, which are orientated east-west and measure 50m across, are sub-divided and contain gardens and yards. At the extreme eastern end of most of the plots there are the buried foundations of a rectangular long house, a type of house occupied by the majority of village residents...."
