NHER 2424 (Monument record) - Medieval moat

Moat; marked on (S1) as rectangular without west arm.

April 1978.
Ordnance Survey inspector 'PAS' reports that this has been infilled by dumping except for the northeast corner. The remainder is still visible as a soilmark. He believes a depression west of the farmhouse marks the vanished west side. Manor Farm itself he describes as 'possibly 15th to 16th century but not outstanding'. This must be checked.

Earthworks of a medieval moat are visible on aerial photographs (S4-S6). Although largely overgrown, the shape of a moat shown on the Ordnance Survey first edition 6 inch to the mile map (S1) is partly visible on aerial photographs. Only the north, east and south sides of the moat were visible. It is shown on the Runcton Holme Tithe Map (S8) as having a rectangular plan with internal dimensions of 79m by 43m. It is likely that the moat is of medieval date and that it relates to the site of the manor at this location. It is not clearly visible on later aerial photographs and appears to have been partly built over (S7).
