Earthworks, which may be associated with the grange, were observed on aerial photographs as part of the National Mapping Programme. These were interpreted as ponds (TF 3488 9352; TF 3498 9363; TF 3505 9353) and enclosures (TF 3506 9365; TF 3502 9352; TF 3500 9358) of medieval or post medieval date. {2}

The Priory of Alvingham held land in Yarburgh during the medieval period although at the time these holdings were not recorded as a grange. Nevertheless this site may be the part of the holdings of Alvingham Priory. {3}{4}
