The Manor House(Birmingham Moat) - not to be confused with the Camden Street details - was where the present day Wholesale Markets have been built . This was the structure dated as 1166 referred to in a previous post.
Page 87 Birmingham Hidden History by Michael Hodder gives much detail with a photo on p88 of the 1973-75 excavations. It is suggested that it looked very similar to Weoley Castle being of the same, ringwork, style.
The book is quite informative on the cities history and earthworks and should be in at least one of the cities libraries. It is for the enquirer and student rather than those who prefer more tv style narrative. The book is also available from quite a few suppliers.
++ no pecuniary interest, just an interested reader.
