Overview of Gainsthorpe

It is now in the care of English Heritage. There is a small car park from where a footpath of about 220 yards (201 m) leads to the site. The typical medieval layout of sunken roads and raised rectangular tofts and crofts is clearly seen in the humps and hollows of the field.
