NX64NE 9 6991 4598.
(NX 6991 4598) Dunrod Village (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map (1957)
Nothing remains of the village of Dunrod which traditionally was populous and of considerable note. The church (NX64NE 8) (which is presumably contemporary) is in the middle of an extensive layout of ridge and furrow. According to the OS the village was depopulated at the time of the Civil Wars (c. 1650).
Name Book 1849; OSA 1795; C A R Radford 1963
There are no surface indications of the village which was presumably centred around the moat and church.
Visited by OS (JP) 17 April 1971.
There are no remains of buildings at this location. The features described by Oram (2000, 256) are the ends of rigs.
There is an extensive system of unenclosed rig and furrow surviving across an area of about 88 hectares as earthworks up to 0.6m in height.
