Description: | THE SETTLEMENT OF OWMBY, WHILE NOT SUFFERING ANY SHARP OR PERMANENT DECLINE, APPEARS FROM CRUDE POPULATION FIGURES TO HAVE BEEN RATHER LARGER IN THE PERIOD UP TO THE C14 THAN THEREAFTER UNTIL THE C19. THIS MAY BE REFLECTED IN THE LARGE AREA OF OLD ENCLOSURES MAPPED IN 1796, OF WHICH THE CONTEMPORARY AND LATER VILLAGE OCCUPIES ONLY A PART. ALTHOUGH EARTHWORKS ARE RECORDED ON APs AT THE EAST AND WEST ENDS OF THE SETTLEMENT IT IS DOUBTFUL WHETHER ENOUGH SURVIVES TO ALLOW AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PLAN FORM AND DEVELOPMENT. THE BASIC AXIS OF THE SETTLEMENT IS EAST-WEST AND THE PRESENT ROAD NORTH TO NORMANBY IS A POST-ENCLOSURE INTRUSION. {1}, HTM 24.6M | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
