Full Description
{2} Possible moat. The site is now only an L-shaped ornamental pond 80m by 30m and up to 20m in the corner of the park, and on the Tithe Map of Thornby (1840) the pond is shown slightly larger, but still L-shaped. There is no trace of any other side and the identification of the site as a moat is uncertain. The feature may have been associated with a medieval manor house located differently from the adjacent Thornby Hall which has a 17th century origin.
