NHER 10974 (Monument record) - Possible medieval or post-medieval moat

Moat.
Shown on 1957 6in Ordnance Survey as rectangular enclosure moat with entrance to west enclosed by short flanking ditches, and crossed by footpath; two ponds in interior; eastern annex with south arm W-shaped, straight East arm, but no north arm.
The 1832 tithe map is identical except that it shows the north arm of this enclosure running to the centre of the east arm of the main moat, not to its northeast corner as Ordnance Survey might imply.
R. R. Clarke (NCM) described this as ancient monument 75, but there is no record of it ever being scheduled.
