Summary
This is the site of the Burgh medieval hall that was mentioned in 1313 with a water mill adjacent to it. Over the years a variety of objects have been recovered from the site, with many of these coming from the moats which would have surrounded the hall. Finds included Mesolithic and Neolithic flints, a medieval helmet, and parts of a medieval wooden and stone bridge as well as numerous medieval pottery sherds. By 2002 the whole site was under good grass cover and plans were in place to ensure its continued preservation.
