Monument Number 1041290
Hob Uid: 1041290
Location : Lincolnshire South Kesteven Aslackby and Laughton
Grid Ref : TF0773031620
Summary : Potential Medieval settlement (tofts, crofts, pond and windmill mound) seen as cropmarks and earthworks.
More information : The remains of Medieval settlement are visible as a combination of cropmarks and earthworks around Laughton Farm and these have been mapped from good quality air photographs. The possible remains of tofts were visible as four incomplete conjoined ditch defined earthwork enclosures, centred at TF 0773 3162. The modern boundary continues the line of these enclosures to the east. To the south west of the tofts are the possible remains of croft boundaries visible as cropmarks centred TF 0765 3144. These boundaries could also relate to the Medieval settlement of West Laughton (TF 03 SE 4) as this is immediately to the south east. To the north of the road running through the settlement, north of the previously described tofts, are further remains of tofts defined by four ditched enclosures. These were visible as earthworks to the east and cropmarks to the west and centred at TF 0776 3177. The modern farm at Laughton sits in an enclosure with boundaries corresponding to the line of the medieval boundaries. At the western limits of the settlement is a possible windmill mound visible as a cropmark centred TF 0750 3159. To the south east of the main settlement is a possible pond which could be Medieval in date centred at TF 0794 3170.
