Monument record 111 - Shotley

Shotley medieval settlement remains. The name Shotley is first recorded in 1430, but is presumably much older. Settlement remains lie to the south of the existing hamlet

{2} Settlement remains (SP 92600720) forming part of the hamlet of Shotley, lie S of the existing hamlet on either side of a deeply-cut hollow-way which is the abandoned continuation of the present main street. The site is in a small valley, on limestone at 200 ft above OD. It consists of a number of ill-defined paddocks or closes, bounded by low banks, with traces of former buildings within them. Several other hollow-ways branch off the main one. The name Shotley is first recorded in 1430 but is presumably much older.

{3} Settlement remains (SP 926972) formerly part of the hamlet of Shotley. On a map of 1630 the two branches of the hollow-way are shown as existing roads with at least three buildings alongside them.
