The Garris
The Garris submitted by Reddon : The Garris, Gargrave. The flooded area shows the location of a ditch which surrounded the central island. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is appears to be a moated fortified settlement, possibly a pre-1066 Thegn’s Hall. The site, registered as an ancient monument, is in a permanent state of flood, forming a small wetland attracting migrant wildfowl.

The Pennine Way walk skirts the northern boundary. Preliminary investigations using magnetometry indicates the presence of structures on the central "island" together with defensive palisades, possibly of timber.
