Modern Falsgrave showing the location of the excava

The Scarborough suburb of Falsgrave was a settlement in its own right at the time of the Domesday Survey of 1086 when it was the most important village in the district. An excavation project to try and locate evidence of this settlement has been started. An open plot of ground next to Seamer Road was excavated but failed to discover any evidence of medieval activity. The large depth of soil on top of the natural ground surface suggests prolonged agricultural activity.
