More information : A probable medieval / post medieval moat is visible as earthworks in historic aerial photography in Sharoe Green Ward, Preston, centred at SD 5404 3359. The moat and associated earthworks (hollow way, field boundary and earthwork bank) lay on the northern side of Moss Leach Brook, adjacent to earthworks traditionally associated with Broughton Tower on the south side of the brook. They are clearly closely associated, though how these earthworks are related chronologically is unclear. The site is partially extant on the latest 2013 aerial photography, with earthworks relating to the moat visible on lidar imagery. (1-4) |
