SEX74673 - Excavation of a Medieval Manorial Moated Site at Whitehall, Little Burstead, Billericay

The site comprised a typical medieval hall house, with an attached kitchen and several outbuildings, set within a triangular moated enclosure. A tile kiln, manufacturing nibbed tiles, was excavated under the western end of the manor house. The site dates to the mid- 13th to the mid-14th century and appears to have been deliberately dismantled by the mid-15th century.
