MORE INFORMATION & SOURCES

[Area TF 100 459]. Traces of earthworks visible on air
photograph [AO/LP/63/293], indicate a deserted village site.
Foster lists Thorpe or Laythorpe, and Burgh or Burg, "a village
associated with Evedon and perhaps also with Kirkby Laythorpe,"
both mentioned in 1086.
[See TF 04 N.E.15 and TF 04 N.R.17 for two further sites in
area.] (1)(2)

The area shows no evidence of extensive desertion but there are
indications of shrinkage. The early fields visible on air
photographs have been ploughed. (3)

No change. (4)

Listed by Beresford at NGR c.TF 106 465 (see also TF 04 NE 15 and
TF 04 NE 17). (5)

The Medieval settlement referred to by the previous authorities was
seen as earthworks, around Kirby La Thorpe village, and mapped from
poor quality air photographs. The fragmentary remains of crofts
are visible to the west and east of Church Lane centred at TF 0985
4602 and TF 1003 4590. One block of ridge and furrow survives as
earthworks from the field system that once surrounded the Medieval
settlement. This is centred at TF 0966 4592.
