  We study the behaviour of spin $1/2$ charmed baryons as the temperature
increases. We make use of anisotropic lattice QCD simulations with $N_f = 2 +
1$ dynamical flavours. After determining the positive and negative parity
ground state masses at the lowest temperature, we investigate the effect of
rising temperature using ratios of thermal lattice correlators with both
so-called reconstructed correlators and with simple model correlators. This
avoids difficulties associated with non-zero temperature fitting or spectral
reconstruction. We find that temperature effects are prominent throughout the
hadronic phase for all negative parity channels considered and for some
positive parity channels. Subsequently and where possible, we determine the
masses of the ground states as a function of temperature. Finally we consider
the effect of chiral symmetry restoration and extract an estimate of the
pseudocritical temperature from singly charmed baryonic correlators.
