Notes about this historic site
1 On a mid 19th century sketch map of Wappenbury, a field at this location is called Moat Close.
2 As this corresponds to the NW corner of the earthwork (WA 1840), this latter site may be the one referred to. No sign of any other “site” in the area was noted on the fieldwork.
