Abstract:		 An assessment and rapid walk-over survey were undertaken in advance of a sewerage scheme in the village of Great Asby. Five sites in the area of the village were located in the desk-based study. Within the village centre was a 17th century rectory with a 14th century wing and a well spring. The village and the surrounding fields formed a hazard area, within which were the earthwork remains of a farmstead and associated ridge and furrow. To the north-east of the village was Marble Mill, possibly of medieval origin. The earliest settlement of Asby may have pre-conquest, Scandinavian origins, however, the present village of Great Asby is probably a planted settlement of 11th or 12th century date. Trial trenching in the field in the south-west of the study area, and a watching brief over excavation of a pipe trench through the village were recommended. [Au(abr)]
