Full Description
<1> Ordnance Survey, 1870-1982, Ordnance Survey Archaeological Record Card, SJ37SE4 (Index). SCH2487.
Site visit dated 09/07/1959, comments:- 'Lea Hall appears to be modern with no trace of the former building. The moat could not be completely investigated or surveyed due to a thick growth of nettles. Apparently only a small portion of the south side is still extant and this is almost infilled. A house has been built over the water feature shown on O.S. 25". A pond extending from north to south may incorporate the west side of the moat but it has evidently been widened and elongated. It now forms part of an ornamental garden. No part of the north or east sides of the moat could be traced.'
Site visit dated 13/08/1964, comments:- 'As described …. except that a hollow some 25.0m long and too widespread to be surveyed is probably part of the south side. Published survey (25" 1960) revised.'
