Monument record TQ 94 NW 7 - Homestead moat, Silver Wood, Pivington

Summary

A moat 400m to the east of Pivington was excavated in 1955: amongst the material recovered was 13th century pottery, a hall structure dating to the early/mid 14th century and a hall-house, probably early 16th century in date, lasting until the third quarter of the 17th century. This homestead moat is relatively complete and remains waterfilled. The pottery from the excavation is in store at Maidstone Museum.
