Hi , I live in GrangeFarm House Costock road and am a Parish Counsellor . What evidence apart from topographical do we have of this sunken village. I presume it is meant by this term as a village that was in existence and has now disappeared . Has archaeological excavations taken place to prove its existence ? it is now included in our conservation area . I would be most interested to hear more and how this was discovered

Hi Martin, a Shrunken Village is just as you describe a 'settlement where previous house sites are now unoccupied, but often visible as earthworks, crop or soil marks'. There has been no excavation of the village as far as we are aware, the evidence base for our record comes from aerial photographs and a Village Earthwork Survey carried out by Trent and Peak Archaeological Trust in the 1990s. The survey combined a review of the aerial imagery with field survey.
