86No archaeological sites within the village are considered worthy ofscheduling as Ancient Monuments.The grading of Listed Buildings in the village is thought to be generallysatisfactory. Probably none of the unlisted buildings in the villageare worthy of Grade II status. Several examples in the Supplementary Listmight ultimately warrant upgrading, but this is not regarded as a matterof high priority.From the point of view of archaeological excavation, Stanton St. Johndoes not warrant high priority treatment: as detailed above, the archaeologicalpotential is comparatively limited. However, two problemswould be worth investigation, should opportunity arise at a time when resourcesare available:Any opportunity to examine the central nucleus around the church,e.g. the Rectory grounds to the immediate SW of the churchyard, could beexpected to produce some evidence of the late Saxon and early medievalsettlement.Any opportunity to examine the apparently planned area to the Smight provide some evidence for the date of the laying-out of this area.REFERENCESMaps:1778 Enclosure Map (Oxon,C.R.O.
