CAINHOE

DESCRIPTION + /

The deserted settlement of Cainhoe is recorded in Domesday Book. After the Conquest, it became the possession of the d'Albini family. It was deserted soon after 1349, following decimation by the Black Death. Earthworks around Cainhoe Castle have long been thought to represent those of the deserted village, but excavation to the South of the Catle only located further structures associated with the castle. The earthworks to the West of the castle appear to be those of the manorial complex, including a moated house and fishponds, which succeeded the castle. The precise location of Cainhoe remains in doubt.
