Wardley Medieval Moated Site


There are earthwork remains at Wardley, Gateshead, of a medieval moated site and associated rig and furrow cultivation. This is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, though little of the remains can be easily seen today; however; moated medieval sites are relatively rare in the North East. The manor of Wardley was held by Durham Priory, first documented 1264, when Prior Hugh de Derlington erected a camera, hall and chapel (later destroyed by the Scots). In 1313 it was assigned to William de Tanfield.[1]
