Full Description

Moat, probable. 1958 map trapezoid, only N arm filled in. 1973 1:10,000 only W arm left. Wet. Rest built over. Originally had a wet spur in SW corner. Occupied. Isolated, 180m from parish boundary, 1,050m from church.

Monitoring of foundations trenches for an extension, coupled with map evidence, revealed a sequence of major changes for the farm yard on the moat island in the later post-medieval period, including major remodelling and in-filling of the moat itself from c.1900; but no evidence for medieval activity was recorded (S1).
