Notes about this historic site

1 Homestead moat.
2 Earthworks marked.
3 The feature published as a moat appears to be no more than a dry fishpond, embayed on the N and W, and with adjacent catchment and feeder ditches. The enclosed pond in the raised portion is the result of a spring and cattle tread, and has now been drained.
