Full Description
Armtree Manor is listed in a document of 1572 as being on the site of an extinct medieval village. It was said to have formed part of the parish of Coningsby at that time. {1}{2}
A number of slight mounds were noted in this area, to the south-west of the modern village of Langrick. The mounds were believed to represent part of the remains of the medieval village of Armtree. Considerable quantities of masonry and tile fragments were found in the area of the mounds, along with sherds of 13th-18th century pottery and tile. {3}{4}{5}
Large quantities of animal bone (pig, sheep) and shell (oyster, cockle and whelk) were identified during a site visit to this area in July 2010. The finds were thought to be of probable medieval date. It was reported that large pieces of stone and fragments of medieval pottery are also regularly found on the site during ploughing. {6}
