Probably one of the best surviving deserted medieval villages in Linconshire. A typical village site with a series of deeply sunken roads with rectangular platforms on either side. The best part of the site is south-east of the house although there are also less well-defined earthworks to the north. The Ordnance Survey has surveyed the site. The Domesday population was 16. Twenty-eight people paid poll tax in 1377. There was no population in 1565. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6} Deserted medieval village of Brackenborough, depicted as a group of earthwork and cropmark tofts, platforms, boundary ditches, holloway and ridge and furrow by the National Mapping Programme. {7} Sherds of 12th to 13th century pottery were found on the surface of ploughed land at the edge of the scheduled area (TF 3320 9070). {8}
