Sheraton Deserted Medieval Village (Sheraton)
A Medieval settlement is visible as earthworks on air photographs taken in 1951, later photography taken in 1990 shows that the earthworks are still extant and fairly well preserved. The earthworks include building platforms, tofts, crofts, fishponds, hollow way, scarps and ridge and furrow. The remains include about half of the original village, the rest is now under present day buildings in a village astride the A19. Sheraton was previously known as Sherveton and is known to have existed from the 12th century until the late 16th century. Scheduled.
