Hob Uid: 55858
Location : Doncaster Non Civil Parish
Grid Ref : SE5424008730
Summary : Site of moat, manor house and garden, built over? though part of the site still seems to survive. Possibly part of the medieval moat is visible as an earthwork on air photographs.
More information : [SE 54240873] A moat is shown on The Tithe Commutation Map of 1844. (1) This is now a barely discernible depression in an arable field. (2) Listed as destroyed and built over, its position suggests it is the manor house with garden held by Alice du Lound in 1301. (3) The NW and SW sides of the enclosure were apparent through the dense growth of nettles on the line of the infilled ditch, together with the causeway on the SW side. (4) Additional reference. (5) At SE 5423 0872 there are three sides of a rectangular enclosure formed by a 4-6m wide earthwork ditch. It may indicate the site of the medieval moat. (6)
