TA 012 552. Site of deserted village of Sunderlandwick. Scheduled
No HU/164. (7)
A medieval settlement is visible as earthworks on air photographs on both sides of Old Sunderlandwick Lane, presumably the course of a former hollow way, at TA 0116 5507. The settlement consists of numerous crofts, hollow ways, buildings, platforms, boundary ditches, fishponds and field boundaries. Some of the field boundaries contain remnants of medieval ridge and furrow (UID 1547948). Further banked field boundaries at TA 0100 5525 and ditched features at TA 0151 5507 appear to overlay/cut the medieval ridge and furrow and are presumably post medieval in date. All the earthworks to the southeast of Old Sunderlandwick Lane have been levelled. To the northwest of the lane the feature either survive as earthworks or their current condition is uncertain due to tree cover.
