Site Event/Activity record ECH4559 - Bradley Hall Appleton, The Moated Site and Suvey and Research Report

In May 1983 the moat and its immediate surroundings were subject to a contour survey by extra-mural students of Manchester University. A resistivity survey of an area of approximately 20 x 25 metres on the moat platform was also undertaken. The resistivity survey indicated a damp area, running from the house to the moat edge. This was not thought to be drains by the owner. There were dry areas on the south western part of the survey area. This could confirm the existence of large greenhouses that stood on the site some years ago. The dry areas suggest the presence of buried foundations. Further resistivity survey was undertaken to the north at the location of a possible Roman road. Report also includes an overview of the documentary and cartographic evidence.
