Full Description
Substantial earthworks and buried walls in two fields north-east of Manor Farm were inspected and some excavation carried out from 1975 to 1980 by John Dable. It was suggested that the remains might be part of a lost village called Easthorpe because of the name Easthorpe Road that is nearby. {1}
The excavations revealed the foundations of several buildings to the east of Manor Farm. The suggested date of use of the site based on the pottery recovered is from the 10th century to the 15th century. The site was interpreted as a former medieval farmstead. Stone foundations were found, including a possible bake house and evidence for a crew yard. {2}{3}{4}
