Lorbottle deserted medieval village (Whittingham and Callaly)
NU 035063. Lorbottle Deserted Medieval Village. (1)
Nothing visible on available aerial photographs. (2)
Larbottle, or Lorbottle Square, which according to the owner was its former proper name, comprises a farm, outbuildings and farmworkers' cottages.
The location given by Authority 1 falls in an area of permanent rough pasture, largely under rig-and-furrow, but no earthworks of occupation were found here or elsewhere in the vicinity of Lorbottle and the owner reports no former earthworks or relevant finds in fields on the east and north of the farm that are now under cultivation.

NU 033065. Lorbottle deserted medieval village. Documentary references: 1264, 1296, 1377, 1406, 1632, 1665, 1724, 1821. The site of the old village lay at the present farm of Lorbottle. A single house site and enclosure were identified from the former north row which has now been ploughed out. The layout of the south row is betrayed by topography rather than earthworks. The natural river terrace forms an area of level ground. (4)
