The most likely site for this is that area encompassed by the river and roads immediately south of the barton (dmg).

RCHM, CITING DYER, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV76165.

Dmg (above) suggests it might have been located in area immediately s of affeton barton almost encircled by roads and river. Field evidence is not very convincing. There is a 200m length of very substantial hedge bank (2m high) on the e. Bank is lower but stone-faced on n side. Bank becomes very insubstantial on s side and there is no good boundary on the w side (rchm, citing dyer).

Afton is shown on speed's map of 1610 bordering little dart park to the s of the river but no house is shown. At the beginning of c18 dennis stucly let the barton to affeton but reserved the free warren to 'hunt, hawk and fish' (gallant).
