Full Description

2020: Evaluation trenching for a single dwelling development close to the former site of Willisham Hall revealed deep deposits reminiscent of a filled in water feature such as a pond or moat. However a record office search did not find historic cartographic evidence for a water feature in this area. The few stray ceramic finds indicative of past activity were pottery sherds of Roman, medieval and Post medieval date (S1).
