The monument includes the earthworks and buried remains of Stock medieval settlement together with part of its associated medieval open field system. The settlement is located on undulating ground north east of Stock Beck, while the field system spreads over Hawber Hill to the south of the village. The monument has been identified by a combination of field survey and aerial photography, the latter of which highlights crop marks indicative of buried archaeological features. Although the date of the first settlement at Stock is unknown its abandonment is thought to have coincided with the onset of climatic deterioration and the Black Death during the 14th century.
