Riby Park is recorded on both the 1st edition 6" and 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series maps. The parkland surrounds the site of the former country house of Riby Grove (see MLI127874), from which it is separated by a ha-ha on its southwest and southeast sides. An avenue of mature trees stretches northeast across the park from the house. Much of the parkland encompasses the shrunken Medieval settlement of Riby, and a large area of ridge and furrow survives in the southwest of the park (see MLI50029). {1}{2}{3} Pevsner records that an Anglo-Saxon cemetery of 7th century date was found by soldiers encamped in the park. A single burial was discovered, containing an amethyst bead thought to have come from Egypt. {4} The monument boundary was extended in 2018 following a site visit which confirm that Hermitage Wood to the south of the park was historically part of it, including a reused medieval cross base (56723) located at the intersection of three curving paths.
