Monument Number 81682
Hob Uid: 81682
Location : East Riding of Yorkshire Halsham
Grid Ref : TA2675027800
Summary : The site of Halsham Manor, with the remains of the moat and associated Anglian settlement. The earthworks were levelled by machine post-1997. Some of these remains were visible as cropmarks and earthworks on air photographs.
More information : (TA 26752780) Old Hall (NR) (Site of) (1) The north and west sides of a moat, now dry, which originally surrounded the Hall are in fair condition. Published survey (25") revised. (2) The multi-period earthworks at Halsham were visited in 1997 when the site was assessed for scheduling. The house platforms were identified as being those of Halsham manor recorded in 1294 and 1349, which is suspected as forming the core of an Anglian settlement. In 1995 the core of this area survived under pasture, unfortunately after the survey the surviving earthworks were levelled by machine and the pasture field ploughed. This is thought to have destroyed the manor house building platforms as well as the remains of any Anglian settlement. The site was therefore considered to be below the threshold for national importance and no further scheduling action was taken. (3) The location of the "Old Hall (site of)" marked on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Map of 1855 (Yorkshire Sheet 242) is enclosed on two sides by a broad ditched boundary or enclosure. This ditch is up to 12m wide and is visible over a distance of 390m. There are possible sub-divisions at TA2675 2779 and TA2678 2784 a hollow at TA26712783 and a platform at TA2677 2782. This platform may be the site of the manor house identified by authority 3. (4-8)
