    • Full Description

    <1> Wath Hall - Medieval hall stood in front of the present vicarage, was moated by a diversion of the Grewalebrook around it. Later became the Rectory [Further information in backup file].

    <4,5> Geophysical survey and trial trenching were conducted on the site in 1991. These identified areas of modern landscaping.

    <2> Geophysical survey seems to show good evidence of the moat and possible structures on the island.

    <3> Archaeological evaluation has confirmed the presence of a medieval moat. Structures within the moated area have also been found, confirming the interpretation of the earlier geophysical survey. Dating evidence for these structures is limited and it is unclear whether they date from the late 11th century medieval manor or the later medieval vicarage of c.1410, or both.
