Extensive remains of medieval settlement shrinkage is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data as earthworks and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located primarily north of New Row across the eastern side of Hoggeston village and centred at SP 80600 25202, the settlement remains comprise a series of mostly rectilinear earthwork platforms of various sizes, bounded by a network of interconnected ditches or trackways. Also visible are terracing scarps and four probable ponds. Aerial photographs taken in 2019 and recent remote sensing data indicate that almost all these features remain extant, with one probable pond having been built upon (10-14).
