MenuRaventhorpe, Lincolnshire
Raventhorpe is a deserted mediæval village in Lincolnshire, in the Parts of Lindsey. The monument includes a row of building remains along the west side of the trackway to Raventhorpe Farm. These survive as earthworks, some with exposed stone rubble standing up to 3ft high, and appear to represent at least ten small buildings. In Domesday the village is listed as in the possession of St Peter's Abbey, Peterborough. In 1216 it was conveyed to the Cistercian abbey at Louth park. It is thought that the settlement was cleared some time later to increase the land available for sheep. The site is within the council area of North Lincolnshire.
