Notes about this historic site
1 ‘Little Moat Close’ marked. Field name comes from Tithe Apportionment map 1748.
2 This document could not be located in the County Record Office.
3 The proximity of three other moats (PRN 2558, 2584 and 2567) makes the siting of a moat in this field rather unlikely, though the field name might arise from a neighbouring field being called ‘Moat Close’.
4 Moated sites survey.
5 Find made in 1993: Henry VII (1485-1509) halfgroat, Canterbury mint, issued 1486-1504
