Ingoe (Matfen)
At NZ 039745 are typical remains of depopulation, consisting of low stony banks forming small crofts and associated building steadings, and two hollow ways. Surveyed at 1:2500. See also aerial photographs.
Probably an earlier site of the village of Ingoe, and relevant to the old Chapel (NZ 07 SW 9). (1)
(NZ 038745) Deserted medieval village of Ingoe (site of). (2)
As described previously. Published survey (1:2500) revised. (3)
Medieval enclosures, boundary banks, buildings, platforms, lynchets, crew yard and hollow ways are visible as earthworks on air photographs at NZ 0393 7455. The medieval settlement of Ingoe lies to the south west of the modern village. A broad hollow way runs northwards before turning to the east onto the green. To the east of the hollow way are a series of enclosures on the slope of Stob Hill. They are often defined by scarps but also by banks in places. At least some of the enclosures appear to have been created or continued in use into the post medieval period and appear on the Ordnance Survey first edition map. Fragmentary lynchets also lie on the slope.
To the west of the hollow way are further boundary banks. At NZ 0388 7450 a large sub-rectangular enclosure can be seen defined by a substantial bank. It measures approximately 84m by 67m and there are further internal divisions and a range of buildings, some of which appear to have been robbed out, enclosing a possible crew yard. This complex may represent a grange or demesne farm and is morphologically similar to examples elsewhere.
Medieval ridge and furrow survives as earthworks in adjacent fields along with medieval/ post medieval split rig (recorded separately). Further post medieval boundary banks, ditches and ponds are also visible. All features are still extant on the latest 2000 oblique photography. (4a)
