1 Early maps indicate a small hamlet settlement beside the road from Outhill to Wootton Wawen in the extreme E corner of the parish. In the 19th century a road ran N-E from this spot across the S end of Oldberrow parish. An estate map of 1820 indicates two houses in existence at that date, with one possible former house-site. The road was formerly braided at this point. Only one house remained in 1863.

Description  
technique Documentary Evidence Documentary evidence is another name for written records. The first written records in Britain date back to the Roman period. Documentary evidence can take many different forms, including maps, charters, letters and written accounts. When archaeologists are researching a site, they often start by looking at documentary evidence to see if there are clues that will help them understand what they might find. Documentary evidence can help archaeologists understand sites that are discovered during an excavation, field survey or aerial survey. back

It includes the second part of the Hannoverian period (1714 – 1836) and the Victorian period (1837 – 1901). The Imperial period ends with the start of the First World War in 1914.
