Deserted Medieval village north west of Barwick Farm. Earthwork remains of medieval village to the immediate north and west of Barwick Farm. The earthworks in the field to the immediate north of the farm include a horse-shoe circuit of bank to the immediate west of Barwick Farm Cottages. This enclosure is separated from the rest of the earthworks by a bank running either side n-s. To the west of the bank and enclosure is a curvilinear feature which may delimit a series of plots (visible by puddling after rain). The bank runs e-w. The field to the north west of the farm buildings runs steeply down to the river. A hollow runs down to a small water course. The hollow may be accentuated by water drainage or may be a natural feature. It is possible that the remains of the farm extended further to the river side than the current buildings. Medieval pottery sherds are plentiful in exposed subsoil. The farmer reports the finding of stone within adjacent fields. Stone can be seen protruding from a number of the banks. Some of the stone is moulded and one piece may be a door jamb with a pivot socket.
