Twelfth to thirteenth century farmstead enclosure recorded in excavation and survey. An enclosed medieval settlement situated on a south east facing promontory of the Chilterns, known as Old Dashwood Hill. The site is crossed by the old West Wycombe to Oxford turnpike road which is still in use as a minor road. The enclosure has a ditch and bank which define a roughly circular area 60 metres across. The bank is best preserved south of the old turnpike where it stands up to 0.6 metres high and measures circa 3 metres wide. The ditch, despite having become partly infilled over the years, measures up to 7 metres wide and circa 1 metres deep. Within the enclosure lie a series of medieval building foundations, including the remains of an open fronted building measuring 6 metres by 3.4 metres. Also present are a flint lined water reservoir, a flint walled building which has been shown by excavation to have a peg-tile roof, a cobbled courtyard area, a possible kiln and other associated features. A mortared stone dovecote, situated circa 50 metres south east of the enclosure, was also found during the 1975 excavations. Pottery found during the excavations shows that there was Roman activity on the site but that the ditch remained in use in the medieval perod. A nearby shaft provided a well which was later used for the disposal of human remains, believed to be the victims of the Black Death during the 14th century. This is also when the site appears to have been abandoned. Scheduled.
