Detailed earthwork survey by Bucks County Museum Archaeological Service (B2).

A shrunken settlement of medieval date 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 on the west side of Granborough, centred at SP 476369 225181. These earthworks are situated on the west side of Granborough, crossed by Hogshaw Road; the earthworks to the south of Hogshaw Road appear to be a Holloway running east-west with linear boundaries at right angles forming small plots. These earthworks were surveyed in 1998 and show the earthwoks visible on the aerial photographs. The earthworks to the north west of Hogshaw road are not so regular but the line of the hollow way is continued and small plot boundaries are still visible to the south of this. Near Rookery Farm, on the north side of Hogshaw Road, there are further boundaries of small linear plots, on a different alignment. These earthworks are still clear on lidar visualisations and are surrounded by ridge and furrow field systems which stop at the edge of the settlement earthworks. The line of the hollow way through the earthworks continues to the east of Granborough as a wide flat earthwork (see MBC43590) which may have been a drove road or a green where animals could stay overnight; this is 150m to the north of Green End.
