About

New Hall moated site is a archaeological in north west. According to Wikipedia: "New Hall moated site is a scheduled monument in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester, England. It includes a moat and an island platform on which a modern house has been built. The island was the site of a medieval building. The moat measures between 20 and 30 metres across and is widest at the south west corner where the water soaks away to join a stream. The moat was revetted on the south side but the stonework is destroyed and is bridged on the same side by a modern stone bridge which replaced a timber structure. The rectangular island, measuring 60 metres by 40 metres, encloses an area of 0.25 hectares and is 0.4 metres above the surrounding land."
