This polygon includes much of the settlement of Old Edlington and covers most of that conservation area. Magilton describes the settlement as a 'shrunken medieval village' (1977, 38) and the archaeological potential is high some in some areas. Although now characterised by detached houses, most apparently dating to the second half of the 20th century, the settlement formerly comprised mainly farms centred around the medieval church. Legibility of the former character is partial as some earlier farm buildings and property boundaries survive.
