Village "Cross" at North Charlton On the other side of a wall in a horse field near North Charlton Farm. This was the market cross at the centre of a medieval village, the outline of some of the houses can still be located. The village had a population of over 200 and a Chapel, the site of which is also in this picture (The wood to the left of the picture is Castle Wood - apparently the site of the chapel. Although the alignment of the ruins is wrong for a religious building.) This field cannot be anything other than pasture, because the area next to the burn (Out of sight because of the steep embankment approximately 20 - 30 metres north of the cross) was the village burial ground. (The graves are quite shallow.) Combined with the status of this field as a scheduled ancient monument because of its rich archaeological content makes cropping of any kind impossible.
