Notes about this historic site

1 A homestead moat.
2 Three sides of a presumably once square moat. It is waterfilled and in places appears to be stone-lined. The SE side was presumably obliterated by the construction of a farm building.
3 The moat is 10-15m wide, is wet and has a stone-lined revetment in places. Part of the SE side is shown on the 1926 OS map and has presumably been filled in since.
