Description: | The settlement of Bransby is documented from 1086 onwards, and was always small and has remarkably little documented size variations through time. It lies very close to the southern boundary, and is and was in 19th century a single street village, with farms and cottages dotted along it, their properties forming no coherent pattern. There are traces of lost property boundaries in the south on early aerial photographs and at its north end the street seems to have opened into a green or common before enclosure. {1}
It includes possible medieval earthwork boundaries, some of which are indicated as a moat on Ordnance Survey 1:10560, which has now been rejected as an identification. It has also been interpreted as an l-shaped pond. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
