Pitchcott is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is about northeast of Waddesdon, slightly less than south of Winslow and slightly more than north of Aylesbury. The parish is small, covering . The highest point is Pitchcott Hill, about above sea level. The village is on the eastern brow of the hill, between about and above sea level. ==Archaeology== A Roman road called Carter's Lane forms part of the parish's western boundary with Quainton. There is some evidence of Roman occupation south of the village. Pitchcott is a shrunken village: around the surviving settlement, to the southeast and in other directions, are medieval house platforms and traces of tracks. Southwest of the former parish church is a mound that may have been the base of a medieval windmill. The parish also has good examples of ridge and furrow, showing that in the Middle Ages some of the land now farmed as pasture used to be arable. In 1927 only about were arable and was grassland.〔 A transition from arable farming to sheep pasture in previous centuries, aided by enclosure, may explain why Pitchcott village shrank. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pitchcott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
