Cottam, Yorkshire

Cottam is a deserted mediæval village near Langtoft in Yorkshire, in the East Riding. The monument includes earthwork remains of the mediæval settlement along with a set of contemporary cultivation terraces. It is located to the west and north of Cottam House. The village is believed to have been abandoned by the mid 18th century. The ruined Holy Trinity church dates to c.1890 and was built to serve the population of outlying farms, though it is believed to have been built on the ruins of the village's Norman church. The site is within the council area of East Riding of Yorkshire.
