Notes about this historic site

1 In Rous. ‘Long since depopulated’ (Dugdale). The Lucys acquired the manor in 1492.
2 Site unknown (?). Period of desertion known, but documentary evidence inferior in quality (1).
3 There are no surface indications of the village. Available air cover (RAF) shows a little ridge and furrow only.
4 The field is planted with wheat making it impossible to discern any earthworks in the field.
5 For a possible alternative location for the site see PRN 1123.
