Notes about this historic site
1 George Lewing about 1850 noted a piece of ruined wall which is said formerly to have been a chapel, and that a house close by appears to have been part of an ancient building. These have now quite disappeared, but there are still traces of earthworks and moats in Old Close, E of Tutnell Field Farm, and in the field nearby called Moat Meadow (PRN 1589).
2 ‘Old Close’ marked.
3 The fields to the E of Tutnell Field Farm showed some irregularities on the ground which appear to be natural.
4 Noted in scrapbook.
