Crookdean deserted medieval village (Kirkwhelpington)
NY 975832 Crookdean, a probable medieval, moated farmstead. (1)
Listed as deserted medieval village. (2)
Crookdean, at NY 97538324, is partially enclosed on the west side by the remains of a broad ditch. It is now little more than a superficial depression with a slight counterscarp bank, but the general profile is that of a moat. This in conjunction with the presence of modern farm buildings on the platform, suggesting a continuous tradition, tends to support Jobey's classification (of NY 98 SE 9). Surveyed at 1/2500. There are no other visible depopulation remains. (3)
