Introduction
Kirkless Hall is a hall with gardens, orchards and associated buildings. It is approached by a long drive to the north-east linking with the present Farm Lane. Kirkless Wood is to the west of the site and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal lies to the east. This is a moated site, with a crescent shaped moat to the south of the hall. The moat was lost by the late-19th century together with the orchard and wood. The site remains extant, but has been greatly simplified.
