Holworth

Carrion birds fill the sky above the grassy lumps and bumps of the deserted medieval village of Holworth. I know the site is old, first recorded in 933 as belonging to Milton Abbey and was probably deserted in the late 15th century; the site was partially excavated in the 1950's, where an astounding over 14,000 sherds of pottery were recorded, but other than that I know little more.
