| Summary : Medieval moated site at Lane End Farm, Thurnscoe. Prior to excavations in the late 1960s the moated site survived as slight earthworks, the eastern side had been destroyed by housing. The moat was stone-lined and the interior had traces of a pottery kiln. No in situ remains of the kiln survived but there was a large quantity of pottery wasters, charcoal, cinder and burnt clay dumps. It was in production during the 17th century. |
