Full Description
A series of cropmarks are visible on Google Earth photographs of this area (S6). These cropmarks include a probable moat, approximately centred at TG 0892 0072, several small enclosures, trackways and a series of field boundaries. The field boundaries are present on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (S7).

Cropmarks of undated features including a moat, field boundaries, enclosures and trackways are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S6) on land to the south west of Beck Farm, Wymondham.
The probable moat is trapezoidal in plan, centred on TG 0895 0070, and measures 53m by 50m externally, the moat itself measures up to 8m in width, and appears to enclose an area of 42m by 41m. A possible pond or inlet is visible to the southwest side, and the moat is orientated north west-southeast.
The moat fits within an area of possible enclosures or field boundaries, visible to the north west and to the east. The ‘enclosures’ appear to be additional to other linear ditches which are visible on the Tithe Map (S8), and have therefore been assigned a medieval to post medieval date.
