Notes about this historic site

1 The moat may surround the site of the manor of Stockton. It encloses a rectangular area on three sides only, the SE side being open. There is an entrance on the NE corner. The NE and NW arms are approximately 2m deep and waterfilled. It was not possible to see the depth of the SE arm of the moat as it was so overgrown. The interior of the moated site is flat and grassy. The published survey (25″) of the moat is correct.
