NHER 7463 (Monument record) - Alvington deserted medieval village

Site of the deserted medieval village of Alvington.(OS).
(OS) card states that the (S1) puts this at TG 140 255 (7349) but that this must be a mistake; (S2) quotes (S3) as saying it was situated at Docking Farm because of 'many foundations thereabouts' (11530).
But OS insist their site is correct, basing it on a map they say is in NCM marking this as Alvington Field.

Site visited 31 March 1977. No traces in a flat ploughed field. Only one small natural rise. Slab of tooled stone on footpath to south, perhaps from park wall formerly on south.

Reference (S4) argues that this was only the fields on Alvington, not the village site, and suggests that the village was the same as the modern hamlet of Eastgate.
