East Carlton shrunken settlement remains

{1} Settlement remains (SP 829894-832893), lie along both sides of the existing village street. All the remains are very disturbed, but low banks and scarps and sunken platforms can be identified. Some of the remains still had houses on them in 1723 though all but one had disappeared by 1845. The best preserved are those immediately S of thegates of East Carlton Park (SP 83208925), where there are at least four sunken rectangular depressions, probably former house-sites, associated with long rectangular closes. bounded by low banks, extending E onto the Park. No houses stood there in 1723, though a building existed further E until after 1845.
