2 Together with the shape of the buildings this could be taken to indicate a moat: E of farm are two waterfilled hollows, roughly oblong and parallel to one another.
3 The sources of several of the references on the original SMR card are uncertain.
4 Polygon adjusted based upon earthworks shown on Ordnance Survey mapping.
5 Site visit in June 1977 recorded 2 water-filled hollows, roughly oblong in shape and parallel to one another. One is beside the road, and the other north of the cricket pitch.
