The field in which the Palace site lies is called Hall Garth or Hall Garth Close and the name is to be found in the oldest of village documents 17 18 . Other similar field names found in the old documents and maps are Hall Cliff and Hall Flatts. We know that the manor house near to the church was also called the Hall and that the farm on the same site was called Hall Farm in later years. So was the name transferred from the Palace site when it was destroyed? Or, was the manor house near the church always the original site of the name Hall? This needs further research.Archaeological investigation could reveal more about the site but so far it has been limited to an excavation 19by the Archaeology Unit of Humberside Archaeology in 1993. A hand excavation of a cable trench was carried out across part of the northern side of the scheduled monument on behalf of Yorkshire Electricity plc. A partial section was obtained across the moat ditch, and discovered stone foundations of a building located on top of the moat platform.
