Peel Moat is a small rectangular moated site that once enclosed a square fortified tower at Levenshulme in Lancashire. The tower, built at some point between about 1250 and 1450, stood on a slightly elevated plot of land about 32yds square, and was surrounded by the moat varying from 6yds to 11yds in width. Access to the island is by a triple arched mediæval sandstone bridge across the eastern arm. Secondary access is provided by a causeway on the western arm. Peel Hall was originally constructed by Sir John de Arderne during the mid 14th century. It is now situated on the grounds of Heaton Moor Golf Course. It is within the council area of Stockport.
