Summary

This is the site of Great Palgrave deserted medieval village, which has only been partially scheduled. The village survived to the 15th century, and was mentioned in Domesday, but never had a church. Earthworks, including streets and part of a moat, survive in pasture. The farmhouse itself appears to be of late 18th century date, with contemporary outbuildings and one of 1977.
Extensive fieldwalking and metal-detecting between 1973 and 2018 recovered Late Saxon pottery sherds; Late Iron Age, Roman, Late Saxon and medieval coins, including forty-seven silver medieval coins that formed part of a scattered hoard and twelve rare Saxon pennies; medieval jettons; medieval and post-medieval tokens and undatable, Iron Age to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include undatable metalworking debris, a copper alloy casting jet and copper alloy ring; a Middle Iron Age brooch, Roman copper alloy beads, brooches, a bracelet fragment and strap fitting; an Early Iron Age/Roman brooch; an Early Saxon brooch, brooch fragments and strap fitting; Middle Saxon strap fittings, a brooch, and a hooked tag; Middle/Late Saxon hooked tags and a silver strap-end; Late Saxon strap fittings, finger rings, hooked tags, a brooch, strap-end fragment, furniture fitting, ingot and stirrup; a Late Saxon/medieval harness fitting and fragment, strap distributor, and knife grip mount; Late Saxon to post-medieval spindle whorls; medieval to post-medieval dress accessories including a tiny medieval buckle; medieval brooches, furniture fittings, harness fittings, spur buckles, harness mounts, harness pendants, casket keys, scabbard chapes, mounts, thimbles, seal matrices including one example with a motif depicting a lion fighting a dragon, a box/casket hinge plate, chafing dish, hasp, barrel padlock, balance, lead weight, whittle-tang knife end-cap, lead spindle whorl, scabbard chape, hinged book clasp, pot mend, cloth seal, lead weight, and one half of a mirror case; medieval/post-medieval copper alloy rings, spur rowels, book fittings, furniture fittings, a Jew's harp, a purse bar fragment, leash, lead weight and copper alloy vessel fragments, including repairs and a post-medieval harness mounts, a cloth seal, toy fragment, silver cockspur, and a ferrule.

Full description

Great Palgrave deserted medieval village, part only scheduled. Village survived to 15th century, and was mentioned in Domesday, but never had a church. Earthworks including street survive in pasture, and part of a moat (context 2 at [1]).

Another moat to northwest (context 1 at [2]) and a possible moat [3] (context 4). St Joseph's aerial photographs show earthworks, and tracks running to the southeast and northwest (context 3). See 6 inch overlay and (S1).

26 March 1987.
Scheduled areas of earthworks in very good condition (but only seen from road and footpath). Area around moat though not scheduled, also seems to retain earthworks. Farmhouse appears late 18th century, with contemporary outbuildings and one of 1977.
E. Rose (NAU) 26 March 1987.

Pasture fields under healthy grass cover, with a little erosion around feed bins in south field. Mole disturbance throughout. Moat wet to north and east. Platform remains under conifer plantation. Some tipping of agricultural waste in south arm of moat. Much dead wood, and increase of scrub on banks and in moat bottom.
