Just to north of double moat Huntingfield Hall (included in County No). Pot seems 13th to 14th century. Local inhabitant reported previous existence of earthworks in field. Exact extent of pot spread not determined.

Appears to be a double moated site, moats partially truncated by farm buildings. To west stream forms east boundary. Moats mostly dry, though boggy to north about 2m deep about 3-4m wide. Moats choked with wood, interior masked by nettles, mixed deciduous and coniferous trees, many dying. To east a pond feature at south-west corner. Site measures about 90m east-to-west, about 95m north-to-south, ditches maximum about 2 .5m deep about 3m wide. West arm cut by drive. North end of south arm partially filled with farm debris.

A. Rogerson (NLA) notes a small 19th century cottage on the site containing three early 16th century multi roll moulded beams, presumably reset.
