What is recorded here

Located on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. A small feature (diam. c. 20m) is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map and described as a ‘Moat’ on both. It was removed in 1967 and only a bare gravel and stone area (dims 43m N-S; 29m E-W) was visible in 1968 (SMR file), but it was described locally as an earthen mound (diam. c. 12m; H c. 1.5m).
