Full Description

Unusual watercourses (moat?) noted (S1) by R.R. Clarke (NCM).
E. Rose (NLA).

1 April 1987. Visited.
These are no longer. A pond of roughly oval form has been constructed here since 1982 (see CUCAP) obliterating the traces of this feature. A sharp angled bank surrounds the pond. R. Silvester (NAU) doubts whether the feature was a
moat of medieval date as too far out in Fen.
R. Silvesten (NAU), 1 April 1987.
