Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This paper originated from background research for the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS), relating to developer-funded excavations on a pasture close in Cropston Road, Anstey. Excavations in 1990 and 1992 in this former medieval toft (house and garden) produced residual Saxo-Norman pottery (i.e. from later layers) and post-hole structures of the 12th–14th centuries, followed by evidence for abandonment (Browning and Higgins, this volume) (illus. 3: X). Initial examination of the 1886 Ordnance Survey map indicated that the modern plan of Anstey village held clues to its history. Linking the village’s development to a complex history of assarting (woodland clearance) and multiple manors proved to be a complex exercise in detection. Inevitably, the trials and tribulations of such a process, as well as the occasional joyous moments of insight, are hidden beneath the constructed coherence of a finished narrative.
