| Summary : Earthworks purported to be the remains of Ingerthorpe medieval village are visible on historic air photos. These consist of a loose grouping of features to the east and south-east of Ingerthorpe Hall, which may include a possible toft, croft, stock pen, building platforms, paddock, and scarps, around which there is ridge and furrow. Some of these features appear to survive as earthworks on more recent air photos but some have been masked by recently established woodland. |
More information : [Marginal] Ingerthorpe, listed as a rejected or doubtful
case. (1)
Ingerthorpe, as is evident from the numerous mounds in which the
foundations of buildings, fragments of stained glass, etc., have
often been found was anciently a place of consequence. (2)
The extensive soil and shadow marks near Ingerthorpe Hall at
SE 291660 would seem to be those of the site described in (1) and
(2). (3)
Ground indications of depopulation are evident in the area
surrounding Ingerthorpe Hall. Unconnected series of minor banks
and baulks occur widely, the largest concentration being at
SE 28956600, Rig and furrow ploughing is also apparent in most
of the adjoining fields. The whole, however, forms no intelligible
pattern, and does not merit survey action. (4)
Earthworks purported to be the remains of Ingerthorpe medieval village are visible on historic air photos. There is a loose grouping of features to the east and south-east of Ingerthorpe Hall around SE3176 6633. There is a possible toft to the east of the Hall at SE2912 6610, with ridge and furrow at its rear. South of the Hall there is area of settlement around SE2902 6599 with a well defined paddock and small circular animal pen and more diffuse earthworks of a possible croft, building platforms and scarp slopes. This area backs onto ridge and furrow to the west. There is a further less well-defined area of possible settlement at SE2918 6613, again with ridge and furrow to the rear.
Some of these features appear to survive as earthworks on more recent air photos but some have been masked by recently established woodland.(5-9)
