More information : During field investigation, the remains of two enclosures with an integral moat, were discovered and surveyed at SD 7758 4862. Both features are well defined and appear to be of similar date. The moat is partially wet. The southern enclosure is the more prominent and probably represents the remains of a moated homestead with adjacent outer works or fish ponds to the north. The moat is closely situated to 'Bolton Peel', a 17th C farmhouse and is assumed by the owner, to be the site of an earlier 'Bolton Peel'. (1) Condition unchanged. Survey of 12.9.61 checked and still correct. (2)
