More information : (SK 838151) Moat. (1)
Quadrangular area with moat and rampart.
Has never been investigated. (2)
Moor Hall estate of Richard de Haryngton, passed in the reign
of Ed II to the Earl of Richmond.
The site of the hall can still be seen on the left hand side of
Teigh Lane (now Moor Lane) where the old foundations and the
old moat may still be traced, in a field in the occupation of
Mr Angus. (3)
A large Manorial site in very good condition under permanent
pasture. Traces of building foundations can be seen on the moat
island but they form no coherent pattern.

SK 8388 1512. Moor Lane moated site, Whissendine.
The rectangular moat measures 125m x 135m, most of which is dry, is 20m wide, and 2-2.5m deep. It is recorded as one of two moats originally joined together, but the second, to the south cannot be identified with certainty. The moat island surface is uneven, marking the location of stone foundations of the manor house. The main moat is surrounded by an outer bank with a channel running south which may have linked with the second moat. The whole site is surrounded by a low outer bank less than 1m high at a distance of 25-35m from the main moat. The site is believed to be the Manor of Moorhall, referred to from 1306.
