Description: | The scheduling includes the remains of one the three scheduled moated sites in Brinkhill, and is located immediately to the south east of Glebe Cottage. In 1086 the land at Brinkhill was in the possession of Earl Hugh, forming part of the land of the manor of Greetham.
The moated site includes a rectangular island enclosed by a broad moat with external banks. The island, measuring approximately 20m by 35m, is artificially raised above the surrounding ground level. The north eastern end of the island is further raised and is believed to represent a building platform. The moat, now dry, measures 8m to 10m in width and up to 2m deep and is lined on the south eastern arm by an external bank measuring 6m in width and standing 0.75m high. Water was formerly suppiled to the moat via an inlet channel at the southern corner with an outlet channel provided at the eastern corner of the moat. A worn hollow on the outer edge of the north western moat arm is thought to indicate the location of an original access point. {1} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
