Summary

An L-shaped pond exists here. It could be part of a medieval moat but the Ordnance Survey suggests it is a wagon soak. Whatever the case, the pond is now largely dry and overgrown.

Map

L-shaped pond; perhaps part of moat. OS however says it is a wagon soak.
This would be very interesting if correct. Now dry, overgrown, little different from pits to east. No evidence of it being a moat.
Visited by E. Rose (NAU) 6 December 1978.

Pond partly wet, partly reed filled. Much overgrown with dead wood in ponds. Tipping of hard core on banks to southwest and northeast - this weed covered.
H. Paterson (NLA) 13 July 1998.
