No earthworks visible" (extract from a list of lost villages). <2> Reverend Medway knew nothing about the area of Stinsford being depopulated. No trace of deserted Medieval village was found during field investigation and the evidence in Authy. 1 and 2 is not sufficient to assume that such a site exists. <3> Stinsford. SY 715914.
