Outside the eastern arm of the large moat, and opposite the smaller inner one is another of medium size, led by a channel on the south and a pond for the overflow on the east.'

May 1994, Scheduling information: Three separate moats of differing type enclosed the hall and two areas to the E and SW. There are a wide varietyof features and the earthworks survive well.

Parts of the moated system represent conversion of original features into ornamental gardens. Full description in (S1).
