Full Description
A deserted settlement site, 600m to the northiwest of Northorpe church. It lies in a field named 'Collin Croft' on the 1839 Tithe Award map, and is completely undocumented. Its earthworks were largely destroyed between 1956 and 1969, probably after 1964. Field walking in 1977 located scatters of stone, perhaps indicating house sites or yards, iron slag and much medieval pottery, including Saxo-Norman or earlier types and later medieval wares, including Stamford ware, Shelly ware, Lincoln ware and Bolingbroke ware. The latter perhaps indicates desertion in the later 15th century. The site comprises a series of ditched closes lying on the east side of a hollowed street. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}{8}
