January 1999. Earthwork Survey.
Earthwork survey at 1:1000.
Two separate moats with evidence for outer features are the site of Little Rectory Manor, the larger south moat being the more likely house site. Various enclosures, channels, ditches and a possible fishpond also recorded.
See report (S1) for plan and further details. This site was included in (S2) and the survey is also noted in (S3).

December 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The site is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S4), along with a number of linear and curvilinear ditches to the north east, which have been recorded separately (NHER 57500). However, the West Carr moated site itself has not been mapped by the NMP since there were no features visible on the aerial photographs which were not depicted on the earthwork survey (S1).
