Medieval moat at Priors Hall (EHER 199)

Priors Hall, at one time called Stone Hall because its walls are said to be of 13th century stone, but there is no visible detail of that date.

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Moat (NR). <1> February 1975. Field survey. Fragmentary remains of a homestead moat surround the house. Only the north arm is waterfilled and measures 38.0m by 10.0m wide. The east arm is dry and about 50.0m long, although partly destroyed by tipping at the south-east angle. Elsewhere the moat has been completely destroyed. Published 1:2500 survey revised. <2> <3> December 1976. Scheduled monument notification. The moated site has overall dimensions of 100m east-west by 85m north-south. The moat arms form a rectangle and are mostly infilled, surviving as buried features. They remain visible as earthworks, however, in three discrete ponds, to the north, north east and south east. <4> Copy of Tithe map. <5> <6> See also: <7> - <16>
