Full Description
L shaped pond on 6 inch Ordnance Survey map, perhaps part of a moat.
Ordnance Survey aerial photographs may show very faint outline of long narrow rectangle completing this, but it may only be an old field enclosing the feature.
E. Rose (NAU), 2 November 1979.
Tithe map of 1834 shows this feature as simply a waterfilled pit.
Checked by E. Rose (NAU).
Site visited by A. Rogerson (NAU) in October 1989. Probably not a moat.
E. Rose (NAU), 11 October 1989.
May 2015.
A. Rogerson states that he was unable to get close enough to the site in 1989 to ascertain whether a moat was present.
