Full Description
December 2025. HER Enhancement: Forestry Commission Project K.
Probable sections of a medieval moat are visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2021 (S1). The sections of moat are also recorded on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 6-inch map (S2). It is also possible that some of the earthworks interpreted as being sections of a moat could relate to post medieval ponds and post medieval to modern drains. A 17th century timber framed farmhouse (NHER 45822) is situated within the internal area of the probable moat.
The moat was originally recorded as part of NHER 45822.
