TA 112 031 (corrected NGR) DMV of Fonaby. Slight terraces within the farmyard and garden of Fonaby House Farm are the only earthwork remains either of the Medieval village or later (16th-17th century) mansion: fieldwalking in Chapel Close to the SE produced Neolithic and Bronze Age flint work and a thin scatter of Romano-British and Medieval pottery, and in Dyke Close both immediately N and E of the farmyard a scatter of Medieval pottery confirms the siting of the settlement. Much Romano-British greyware has come from the fields immediately W of the farm, in the N of which lay the Anglo-Saxon cemetery (TA 10 SW 17). Finds in Lincoln Museum. (4)
