Full Description
Moat. Asymetric, fragmentary, comprising two wet ditch sections (including a corner) on SE side and a dry ditch on N side about 2m higher than other 2 sections, occupied. Isolated position on parish boundary, 2.4km from church. OS regard moat as doubtful, possibly ornamental features and/or drainage ditches (S4).
Site of Domesday vill of Losam where Leustan held 1 1/2 carucates under Ranulf Peverell (the soke of 1 carucate of this belonged to Holy Trinity, Canterbury) (S1). For some reason Losam is recorded as being in Babergh Hundred and not Cosford.
