What is recorded here
Situated on a slight E-facing slope. The Castles in Communities group recorded a possible moated site in 2017-18 which does not fit into the mapped fields in the vicinity. It is a grass-covered rectangular area (dims c. 70m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 4m; int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H c. 0.7m) and an outer fosse (at S: Wth of top c. 3m; ext. D 0.1m) but the fosse is more substantial at N (Wth of top c. 4m; int. D c. 1m; ext. D c.0.7m). There are numerous breaks in the bank but an original entrance is not identified. (Brady et al. 2019, 44)
