[TF 4914 8463] Moat [G.T.] (1)

Mablethorpe Hall was a seat of the Fitz-William family in the 15th-16th centuries. A short distance from the house is a moated area. (2)

An incomplete homestead moat. Published survey 25" (1906) revised. The Hall is modern. (3)

The Medieval or Post Medieval moat described by the previous
authorities was seen as an earthwork and mapped from good quality air photographs. Only three sides were visible centred at the grid reference quoted by authority 1. There are a lot of earthworks to the SW and SE of this moat which are assumed to be Medieval settlement remains, possibly associated with the moat. The settlement remains have been recorded in TF 48 SE 27. (Morph No. LI.381.3.3)

This description is based on data from the RCHME MORPH2 database.
