Scagglethorpe is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated just south from the A64 road, 3 miles (5 km) east from Malton and almost midway between York and Scarborough.
To the east of Bull Piece Lane, 700 yards (640 m) south from the village, is evidence of Iron Age or Roman ditches and rectilinear enclosures,[2] and within the village have been found fragments of Roman pottery from the 1st century CE.[3] On Charlton Place is the site of a medieval manor house.[4] Just south from the A64, 500 yards (457 m) west from the village, have been found Roman coins and a Celtic brooch.[5]
Scagglethorpe is derived from the Viking word "Schachetorp", meaning hamlet of a man called Skakull or Skakli.[8]
