Summary

Old Ordnance Survey records mention a ditch in this area, which is meant to relate to a house to the north, although this is uncertain and in 1979 there was no trace of a ditch. Fieldwalking in 1987 by the Fenland Survey recovered a thin scatter of medieval pottery sherds acoss the field, as well as a concentration of medieval pottery sherds, shell and bone fragments as well as some post medieval rubbish next to the lane.

Significance of this information? Is it meant to relate to Middleton Moat, the house to north - but this is a modern building and it is doubtful if the name has any antiquity. No trace of ditch on surface of ploughed field.
