The Deserted Medieval Village (DMV) site on the Purbecks has had it's grid set out. The surviving house platforms are a scheduled monument, but we are looking at the area nearby to see if any sign of structures can be had in non-scheduled parts of the field.
One interesting sign of activity are blocks of worked stone that are not natural to the area. Why are they here? Hopefully they are the remains of a building that once stood on the site, perhaps a chapel, as the common dwellings would have been of wood.
We are planning to start work on the site a.s.a.p., so stay tuned.
