Moat

Named 'Moat' and indicated as a small, circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, which also shows a possible quarry/sandpit a little to the N. In pasture on Crock berry Hill (OD 335 feet). In 1972, the landowner stated that there had been a 'depression' on this hilltop, just N of the summit, that had recently been infilled, levelled-off and re-seeded for meadow, leaving no surface indication of a monument apart from 'a slight depression to the N' (SMR file). The cropmark of a fosse defining the S limits of an originally circular area (est. max. diam. c. 55m) is visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ATC 52).
