Great house site, garden earthworks and associated remains immediately north, west and south of St Mary's Church is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the earthwork remains of a former substantial dwelling and its surrounding gardens. Located in Oxfordshire, the site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns alongside terraced garden features and building platforms that testify to medieval or post-medieval occupation and land management. The earthworks represent a significant example of domestic and agricultural organisation associated with a high-status residence, with the proximity to the parish church indicating the social importance of the site within the historic settlement pattern. The survival of these landscape features in situ provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding the evolution of settlement and land use in this part of Oxfordshire.
