Notes about this historic site

1 To the S of the church and the remaining house lie possible traces of a moated site.
2 A steel-framed farm building has been added to the ‘paddock’ S of the cottage but examination of its foundation trench showed no sign of structures or Medieval remains. The possible moat lies in the E of the paddock and the new structure in the W.
3 The moat is about 50m by 40m in size and the E arm is about 7m wide.
4 During a survey of the parish of Whitchurch a section of an Anglo-Saxon cross-shaft (WA 8409) was found in the flower bed of Park House (SP 2248) adjacent to the moat site.
