Notes about this historic site

1 A moated site noted close to the 15th century manor house.
2 The feature marked on the OS map as a moat is a sluiced pond, which with the river encloses an embanked marshy area certainly not suitable for habitation.
3 The area enclosed by the moat is of irregular shape. The E arm forms part of a millrace (PRN 1327). A small pond and drain are marked on the OS map within the moated area. The land within the ‘moat’ is not marshy or unsuitable for habitation although the enclosed area is rather irregular. The feature does not appear to be a sluiced pond, as suggested by the OS.
