Monument record MWX43171 - Possible medieval settlement remains and flood defences south of Sarre

Summary

Earthworks are visible covering an extensive area between the village of Sarre and the River Wantsum on 1940s aerial photographs. They are composed of interlinked and overlapping linear banks and ditches and a possible house platform. Although the features are undated they are similar in character to plot boundaries and drains derived from medieval settlement. Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that these features have been levelled.
