Scrafield is a hamlet and a deserted medieval village (DMV)[1] in the civil parish of Mareham on the Hill, in the East Lindsey district, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of the town of Horncastle. In 1931 the parish had a population of 24.[2] On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished to form Mareham on the Hill.[3]
The village was not listed in Domesday Book of 1086, but first mentioned in documentary sources in 1183.[4]
Scrafield church was dedicated to Saint Michael but fell into disrepair, and by 1842 it had gone, although the churchyard was still used.[5][6] The northern part of the churchyard was levelled in 1977, and only a single 18th-century gravestone is visible today.[4][5]
Present-day maps show a small number of buildings at Scrafield House.[7]
