Old Hall is surrounded by a circular moat and is likely a remnant of a larger 16th century building with much later modification.
See (S2), (S3), and (S4) for further details.

1975. Field Observation.
Inside large circular moat, now ornamentalised, present building is only a fragment of original house, Dated by Pevsner (S2) to late 17th century and listed (S1) as 1700, it may have an older core. Two storeys and attics, five bays mostly blocked; one original two-light mullion and transom window remains. Two semi-external stacks to rear with partly rebuilt octagonal shafts. Five windows in gable end of stump of main wing. Fine staircase.
