Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Cropmark of enclosure 50.0m square with south-west side continuing to south east. <1>
January 1978. Field visit.
The site falls on arable land that slopes to the south. The ploughed out remains of a square ditched enclosure show as dark soil surrounding an 'island' of lighter soil that is raised 0.3m. A sparse scatter tile, some sherds with peg holes, extends from the centre of the site down-hill. The Tithe Map <2> shows buildings here with a track extending to the south-east. They are named 'Further Moor Hall' and described as 'homestall, cottage, and so forth'. The name Furthermoor Hall on the OS 6" 1960 is applied to buildings 450.0m to the south at TL 64723040. These are now demolished and replaced by a barn.
The age of the building shown on the Tithe Map, and the date of demolition could not be ascertained. <3> <4>
