Full Description
PRN 44502
During a watching brief in 1999, two ditches were recorded, thought to be field boundary ditches contemporary with those recorded from cropmarks around the settlement. One was aligned north-west/south-east and contained fourteenth to sixteenth century pottery; the other was aligned east/west and contained eighteenth century pottery. An undated natural pool was also recorded. {1}{2}
Medieval settlement remains are visible on aerial photographs surrounding Sloothby, and are recorded as surviving as earthworks. The remains include tofts, crofts, enclosures, boundaries and ridge and furrow. {3}
At TF494713 is a cluster of linear crop marks representing ditches. They may be post medieval in date. {4}
