Description: | The monument includes the medieval moated site located 400m to the north east of Home Farm.
The moat is one of two such sites located within the area of the former medieval village of Withcall; the other is also scheduled. Documentary records show that in 1086 Withcall was held by the Bishop of Bayeux, Rainer de Brimou, and William Blund. By the 14th century Withcall was let to tenants and held by William Ribald of Louth. The moated site includes a moated platform, or island, with external banks and ditches, and covers an area approximately 120m by 65m. {3}
Probably a homestead moat according to description for Withcall SMV (40813). | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
