This seems almost certainly the moat described in (S1) under Stanford (previously searched for in vain under old maps of Stanford) as in a field containing a modern house called Mortimers and the poor house, visible as a cropmark, 'south of the river'.
Despite the fact that this moat is just on the north bank of the river and is more than a cropmark, the location near Mortimers Farm seems to indicate this is the site meant; see also NHER 5064. Said by (S3) to be the site of Mortimers manor. (formerly numbered NHER 13200).

Access bridge broken, this could present a problem when moat water-filled, may be reinstated. Some scrub including elder and thorn. This will be controlled. If machinery is used, care will be taken to avert damage to the site.
