reports "A large area of complex cropmarks, including enclosures, hut circles and boundary ditches, is visible on aerial photographs. These are likely to represent a late Iron Age and/or Romano-British settlement."

Gate House

At the junction of Gorse Drove (ahead) and Poor Garden Road. The former Bourne and Sleaford Railway line used to run across Gorse Drove just to the right of the house. I presume the house's name referred to a level crossing gate across the road.

Standard trees

Two oaks, standing in a wheatfield. This used to be parkland when I was younger, and these trees sheltered sheep and deer.

Hall Close moated site, Scredington: aerial 2022

Moated enclosure now in pasture, the moat mainly drained. Originally the principal moat in a village with five. The others have been excavated and/or destroyed. Surrounding the moat in the remainder of Hall Close are the platforms and enclosures of the original village settlement. There were several important families in the village during the Middle Ages. The most prominent, the Pylets, occupied Hall Close from the late 12th to the mid 15th century. The earthworks include the remains of fish ponds and a boundary ditch which would have enclosed the whole manorial complex. See: Link
