Full Description
North End, Alvingham has not been separately defined in documentary sources. Nor is it certain at what point it gained the name of North End.
Earthworks were identified on aerial photographs by the National Mapping Programme. These included:
Enclosures (PRN 46107a-i - TF 3554 9220, TF 3548 9221, TF 3548 9221, TF 3543 9228, TF 3561 9227, TF 3540 9212, TF 3565 9206, TF 3564 9209, and TF 3558 9202)
Boundary ditch (PRN 46107j - TF 3560 9217)

Field boundary (PRN 46107m - TF 3569 9202). {1}
Two sherds of medieval pottery were found in this location during a walkover survey, conducted to assess the impact of proposed construction of the Covenham Water Treatment Works to Boston Transfer pipeline. {2}
Traces of medieval ridge and furrow were recorded to the east of North End in June and October 2011, during magnetometry survey along selected parts of the proposed Covenham Water Treatment Works to Boston Transfer pipeline (PRN 46107n - TF 3572 9222). The remains were identified as a series of parallel linear magnetic anomalies, aligned on a roughly north-west to south-east axis.
Further remains were also identified a little to the south-east of North End, where a clearly defined system of enclosures and probable settlement features were recorded (PRN 46107o - TF 3570 9196). {3}{4}
