Medieval moated site at Lane End Farm, Thurnscoe. Prior to excavations in the late 1960s the moated site survived as slight earthworks, the eastern side had been destroyed by housing. The moat was stone-lined and the interior had traces of a pottery kiln. No in situ remains of the kiln survived but there was a large quantity of pottery wasters, charcoal, cinder and burnt clay dumps. It was in production during the 17th century. (PastScape)
Hall in mid 11th century. Moat (part stone revetted) traceable, although built over. Some excavation by D Ashurst by church. Pottery and kiln waste in moat suggest late medieval industrial use. (South Yorkshire SMR)
