Medieval activity is primarily agricultural. Excavation has provided evidence of the continuity of use of fields from then until the 20th century, with boundary drainage ditching being maintained for that period. This map shows ditches, a pond, a building and a possible bank close to the present location of Higher Lane. Back to the top | Back up to Central Liverpool | Back up to Merseyside |
